Explain?

Do you mean "do normal prediction, then remove it later"?  This seems
wasteful and I don't see how it will work, as you'd have to repeat the
prediction again to know exactly how much to subtract.

Do you mean "just do what's there, except without the zero"?  I don't
think that will work either, because the contents of the frame are
(AFAIK) undefined, so you have no idea what the pixel values are until
you init them to something.
