glm gives incorrect results for zero-weight cases (PR#780)

Just for clarification: This applies only to cases where the
parametrization is non-canonical, e.g. additive models with Poisson
response, right? And essentially the issue is that if you have a model
like lambda = a + b x and you put in a zero-weight observation with x
= 0, then that should effectively constrain a to be positive. That
does make quite good sense, yes.
