Epoch index value is Null at start of blockchain instead of int 0

Using gdev docker image with runtime 900 or gtest docker image with runtime 1000, Epoch index value is Null at start of blockchain instead of int 0.

To be accurate a request of the storage value of : Babe.EpochIndex returns Null (None in python) instead of int 0.

API response:

{'id': 1, 'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'result': None}

While logs display the correct epoch index number #0 :

API should returns 0 integer.
