out parameters are set to the default initializer for the type of it. 
For example:

	void foo(out int bar)
	{
	}

	int bar = 3;
	foo(bar);
	// bar is now 0

No it isn't!  A simple printf anywhere in this code suffices to show 
that the initialisation never happens.  The same occurs whether it's a 
primitive type, array or struct.

I.e. the compiler hasn't been taught the difference between inout and out.
