I don't know that this was ever explicitly discussed, I believe that the
no-quoting behavior may have simply fallen out of the initial
implementation.  I'd certainly like to hear other people's opinions on
this, but I've personally enjoyed not having to place quotes in every
instance.

This is a good point.  Currently Babel just quits if it receives a nil
result, but I think you're right that we should replace existing results
when a nil result has been returned.  I'll add this as PROPOSED to the
babel task list.
