I investigated a little further: 
axiom
)se ou tex off
)se ou al on
(matrix [[1,2]])::OUTFORM::SEX
   (4)  (MATRIX . [[1,2]])
Type: SExpression?
axiom
(empty()$Matrix INT)::OUTFORM::SEX
   (5)  (MATRIX . [])
Type: SExpression?

I believe that this shows that the bug is in the boot display routines. In OUTFORM we find: 

        matrix ll ==
            lv:$ := [LIST2VEC$Lisp l for l in ll]
            CONS(eform MATRIX, LIST2VEC$Lisp lv)$Lisp


axiom
matrix []
   >> Error detected within library code:
   new: arrays with zero rows are not supported

could be equivalent to empty()$Matrix INT. On the other hand, the interpreter has no way to determine the type of this matrix, so the error is probably OK. 

axiom
matrix [[]]
   >> Error detected within library code:
   matrices with zero columns are not supported

does indeed not make any sense at all.
