Yes. From allocate_string() in safe.e, line 821:

global function allocate_string(sequence s)
-- create a C-style null-terminated string in memory
    atom mem

    mem = allocate(length(s) + 1)
    poke(mem, s & 0)
    return mem
end function

For an empty sequence, you get:

    mem = allocate(0 + 1)
    poke(mem, "" & 0)
    return mem
