Summary: GROUP BY query returns no results

Initial Comment:
In trying to emulate the SQL:2003 WITH CUBE clause by permuting group by 
elements and joining multiple selects with UNION ALL, we ran into this issue.  
It seems that when using NULL in the select statement to align the columns for 
UNION ALL, the queries sometimes return no results or erroneous results.  Here 
is a small SQL script that illustrates this:
create table testola (color varchar(128), count integer);

insert into testola values ('blue', 12);
insert into testola values ('red', 2);

select color, null, sum(count) from testola group by color;

I would expect the results to be:

blue, null, 12
red, null, 2

but instead monetdb returns no results for this query.  If you remove the null, 
it works fine.
