I thought about the same while developing the BRIN inclusion operator
class.  I am not sure how useful empty ranges are in practice, but
keeping their bound would only bring more flexibility, and eliminate
special cases on most of the range operators.  For reference, we allow
empty boxes, and none of the geometric operators has to handle them
specially.
