Bug: nullable decimal field not null when returned from service to Rich UI

We have a service that returns a record where one of the fields is a nullable decimal. We have a Rich UI application that calls this service via SOAP.
If we set the field value to null in the service function (we confirmed that it is null before returning it), it becomes 0 when the Rich UI handler receives the record. Nullable ints or nullable dates do not have this problem.
