By the way, this works as I would expect with data.frame on the same
environment:

I encountered the following behavior with data.table 1.8.10 on R
3.0.2 on Mac OS X and was wondering if that is expected:

Empty data.table (0 rows) of 1 col: a

[1] "a"

Error in setnames(ret, nm.original) : x has no column names
Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit
1: rbind(dt1, dt2)
2: rbind(deparse.level, ...)
3: data.table::.rbind.data.table(...)
4: setnames(ret, nm.original)
If I rbind two zero-row data.table objects with matching column
names, I would have expected to get a zero-row data.table back (0 + 0
= 0, after all).
