Unbound variables can't be checked with -z anymore

[Removed by request]

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with bash 4.3-4ubuntu1 and if bash is started with the -u parameter any check of unbound variables will raise an unbound exception. Here is a testcase:

#!/bin/bash -u

if [ -z $SOME_UNINITIALIZED_VARIABLE ]
then
 echo Variable uninitialized
fi

Executing this script will result in this output: "./test.sh: line 3: SOME_UNINITIALIZED_VARIABLE: unbound variable"

Is this still an issue in a current release?
