However, when deleting one element in the attribute list we may finish with an empty list returned as NIL by list_delete_cell(), but the code failed to track that, which is not project-like. Adjust the call so as we check for an empty list, and make use of it in an assertion. This has been introduced by e7b3349, when adding support for CREATE TABLE OF.
