Right, I was wondering a bit what to do here. And I've come down to
the conclusion to just make this API return a List.

For this one, I've found that InjectionPointList() was the incorrect
bit: we can make it issue an elog(ERROR) if !USE_INJECTION_POINTS.
This way, none of its callers will be confused between the case of a
NIL List meaning either !USE_INJECTION_POINTS or that there are no
points attached if the build uses USE_INJECTION_POINTS.
