To recreate:
1 - set UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin to "_ALL_: _PERM_"
2 - have an item where items.permanent_location is null but items.location is
not null
3 - check your item in, get message that location was updated, including
wording "New value: "Blank""
4 - check your item in the database, confirm location has been set to NULL
rather than blank

Getting location to have a value with permanent_location is null takes some
niche setup to accomplish in the staff interface. See this comment for
instructions, but it'd be easier to just set up a test item from the database:
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33301#c2

The UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin syspref contains the option to set things to
"_BLANK_" at checkin. When that option is used, things are actually set to
blank (items.location='') rather than NULL, so in those cases the message *is*
accurate.
