Array union syntax: grumble or bug?

This one has bothered me for a while now - is there a good reason for these two rather strange behaviors of the union command for arrays: 1) union with an empty base array always result in empty instead of adding the new array 2) an array is empty even if it is not (null) and has stuff in it
