For a prediction (speculative based on GR because we can never actually observe), by GR, look at Query 9 in Exploring Black Holes. [16] is a form of the rain metric and you can deduce the path of a pulse of light emmitted by a freefalling radial observer (in this case a rocket ship) from the + (headlight) or - (tailight) radial direction. Computer plots in figure 7 describe the worldlines of both pulses of light ending at r = 0. What happens there may eventually be described by a theory of quantum gravity. Personally I think the 'point' description for the singularity will fall to the wayside. You are asking a really interesting question in your last sentence. What happens to a new black hole formed from a matter black hole and a antimatter black hole? At the 'new' singularity?
