Hi, I confirmed this behavior, and I agree that it's slightly counter-intuitive. One way to avoid this problem would be to filter for *Impressions > 0* in your report request.
That being said, I've passed this along to our reporting team to see if this is intentional behavior. If it is, then I'll make sure to update our reporting documentation accordingly. Thanks for pointing it out!
