The value '(,)' signifies a range with no lower bound and no upper
bound. So '{(,)}' is the multirange that contains just that range
(unbounded in either direction)---in other words not an empty list but
every integer. Ranges use null to indicate unbounded, so it is the
same as '(null,null)'. It looks like the inputs in your second
screenshot must include some ranges with null lower & upper bounds, so
then when you combine them you get everything.
It appears that query is on lines 153-156 of some larger sequence? So
I'm guessing the table contents are not the same as when you generated
the first screenshot.
If you think something else is going on, perhaps you could share the
full contents of bin_data.
Yours,
