Ah, yep, that's an issue. That issue was introduced in 
6b0a32196982a0a2f4dbb59d35e55833a5545ac6.

I guess this raises a question about how to resolve this: if we have no gexps, 
do we still want to claim the first run?

If yes: we can add #t (or whatever) to the end of the "when" form to make sure 
it's never empty.

If no: we can generate an empty on-first-login script that does nothing.

The previous behaviour was to still claim the first run, so I'll send through a 
patch that does that.
