I don't think the long gitter thing helps with the explanation, plus your answer confusingly says that the gas was consumed (which is true), but there was no cost. If you say that more clearly, I'll accept your answer.

Mar 29, 2017 at 21:10	comment	added	Thomas Jay Rush		My question was how can a transaction be created with an account that has had no incoming transaction (assuming that it couldn't because there would have been no ether in it to pay for gas). So, what you're saying is that this account was created and then sent a single zero gas transaction with a value of zero ether. Is that what you're saying? It's odd, but it sort of makes sense (not that sending a single zero value, zero gas transaction make sense, just why it worked makes sense).
