Import CSV file incorrectly detects columns as NOT NULL

When I attempt to import this tsv, HeidiSQL comes up with the following table DDL:

CREATE TABLE `test`.`data` (
    `titleId` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    `ordering` TINYINT NOT NULL,
    `title` TEXT NOT NULL,
    `region` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    `language` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    `types` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    `attributes` VARCHAR(70) NOT NULL,
    `isOriginalTitle` VARCHAR(10) NULL
)

However, when I do an import, I get the following errors:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\Users\\sacro\\Downloads\\imdb\\title.akas.tsv\\data.tsv' INTO TABLE `test`.`data` CHARACTER SET utf8 FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES (`titleId`, `ordering`, `title`, `region`, `language`, `types`, `attributes`, `isOriginalTitle`);

That's because HeidiSQL did not yet detect \N values as NULL, which I just added for the upcoming nightly build.
