You should define an imaginary token to use as the root
here. Things go a little strange when you try to use a
multi-token rule as the root, especially (as you've found) if it's
optional.
tokens { BLOCK; }
block : '[' sentences ']'
-> ^(BLOCK sentences)
;
Using imaginary tokens to indicate structure like this also helps
when reading the tree (either via a tree parser or directly).
