MiniZinc too pedantic about the type of an empty list? #664

$ cat bug1.mzn 
array[1..3] of set of int: C = [{1},{2},{3}];
array[int] of set of int: F(int: t) =
  if t = 3 then [] else [C[t+1] | _ in 1..2] ++ F(t+1) endif;
output ["F = \(F(0));\n"];
$ minizinc bug1.mzn 
Error: type error: type mismatch in branches of conditional. `then' branch has type `array[int] of bot', but `else' branch has type `array[int] of set of int'
