I need to precisely understand what would be your desired behaviour.

a) the string "No placeholder value" does not exist in the GNUmed source code

b) any placeholder that - technically - fails will resolve (if running
   with --debug) to one of:

        invalid placeholder [%s]
                - certain known error conditions

                or

        error with placeholder [%s]
                - unexpected error conditions

c) some placeholders will, when failing *to resolve to a value* return, say,

        no URL for comm channel [%s]

I would be assuming you are referring to c) in the above ?

Please suggest a more professional result for placeholders
failing to resolve to a value. For the time being I will
modify the behaviour like so:

When running with --debug keep the current behaviour (return
"no URL for ..."). When NOT running with --debug return u''
instead (IOW, an empty value).
