If you look at the code in server/php/java/bridge/Session.java, you'll
see that put() expects two objects, so putting "null" will always throw
that exception.

$session->remove("key") will remove a variable.

I'd be happy to contribute to a documentation wiki. I even have some
server space to set one up, if need be. The bridge works great, but
documentation is definitely on the "Use the source, Luke" side :)
