The problem is, not all of these languages think that "" and null are equal.

  I might choose to rephrase that as "the problem is, some of these languages think that "" and null are equal." :-)

    Isn't the lack of strict equality a result of loose typing in those languages?

      Maybe - often more to do with overeager coercion, which does tend to go hand in hand with loose typing.
