It's most likely a poorly configured bitcoind node or pool software. This used to be common among some pools that sent blank work templates at longpoll in order to reduce any overhead of building up a new block. However, that really isn't needed these days.
Is it possible that this was the result of not broadcasting it until they mined a second block?
Second block must reference previous. If they did not broadcast previous block and somebody else solved the block, the withheld block would be orphan. I think it's a result of random chance instead of unwise actions.
