I could reproduce this with a sample application on JBoss-5.0 Beta4. Seems to happen when you have a ejb-local-ref defined in the web.xml file but none in the jboss-web.xml:

  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | 
  | <web-app>
  |   <display-name>EJB3 Persistence</display-name>
  | 
  | <ejb-local-ref>
  | 	<ejb-ref-name>test</ejb-ref-name>
  | 	<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
  | 	<local-home>org.myapp.ejb2x.HelloWorldLocalHome</local-home>
  | 	<local>org.myapp.ejb2x.HelloWorldLocal</local>
  | 	<ejb-link>HelloWorldBean</ejb-link>
  | </ejb-local-ref>
  | 
  | </web-app>
I did not have a jboss-web.xml and started seeing these errors:

2008-03-15 14:08:24,666 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.JBossWebAppParsingDeployer] Error during deploy: vfsfile:/D:/jboss-5.0.0.Beta4/server/jaikiran/deploy/ZEJB3Persistence.ear/myapp.war/
  | java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null local

  | 	at org.jboss.metadata.javaee.spec.EJBLocalReferenceMetaData.merge(EJBLocalReferenceMetaData.java:120)
  | 
Adding a jboss-web.xml with the following contents, solved the issue for me:

  | 
  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | 
  | <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC
  |      "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
  |     "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
  | 
  | <jboss-web>
  |    
  |  
  |  
  | <ejb-local-ref>
  | 	<ejb-ref-name>test</ejb-ref-name>
  | 	<local-jndi-name>test/HelloWorld</local-jndi-name>
  | </ejb-local-ref>
  | 
  | </jboss-web>

Do you have a jboss-web.xml? If not, try adding one with the appropriate contents and see if it works.
