On my 1099-DIV, I have a non-zero amount in box 1a. A zero explicitly in box 1b. In fact, all other boxes in the form provided by the financial institution contain 0.00. I have tried inputting into Turbo Tax with 0s and without (leaving blank). Neither works.
Part of the dividends are from US Govt obligations, so I have checked that box and supplied the amount corresponding to Federal income.
In summary: it is still broken.
