It still gives an error at https://tasks-backup.appspot.com/; however, it seems 
to work fine at js-tasks.

This error was happening if a tasklist contained no tasks. Version beta 0.4.081 
now has code to handle an empty tasklist.

Background;
Google Tasks Backup was not checking for an empty tasklist. 
When using the Google Tasks webpage at https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas, 
there will always be at least one task in any tasklist, because when deleting 
the last task, a new blank task is automatically created. However, a 
third-party app (such as Calengoo on Android) CAN delete all the tasks in a 
task list, which results in a tasklist without an 'items' element.
