I don't think you're missing anything.  I have noted the same behavior.
  That's just the way it works.  It may or may not be a bug.  You can
always file a bug report if it really bugs you.  Calling -reloadData on
an empty table doesn't take a lot of work for the CPU, so that seems a
fairly reasonable and simple workaround to me.
