I suggest to return an empty string ("") only when the input field is empty and has been press "Ok".
On "Cancel" I propose to return Empty (it's possible, since in DDHelp stated: "The InputBox function returns a Variant containing a string."), then we can verify the result using IsEmpty().
Added:
There are 2 variants: InputBox (returns Variant) and InputBox$ (returns String). So in the first case, we would like to have full-fledged Variant, rather than "Variant containing a string".

Why not use the NotesUIWorkspace method, Prompt, instead, which already has this behaviour?

I want to InputBox / InputBox$ worked by analogy with other Function / Function$: Function returns a pure Variant, and Function$ - String.

Ah, yes. It does look like InputBox violates the standard. All other functions seem to return an actual variant of the DataType rather than a variant containing the DataType. Changing my vote.
Chr returns a Variant of DataType 8 (String). Chr$ returns a String.
Date returns that value as a Variant of DataType 7 (Date/Time). Date$ returns that value as a String.
Dir returns a Variant of DataType 8 (String), and Dir$ returns a String.
Error returns a Variant, and Error$ returns a String.
Left returns a Variant of DataType 8 (a String), and Left$ returns a String.
et cetera, et cetera
