normaly i wouldn't be this picky but......
language-lawyer version.. you used the wrong version of the lang, the docs
say it complies to SQL3, which has completely different wording than SQL99

The language-lawyer version:
ISO/IEC 9075-5:1999 ("SQL99") 17.2 GR6
"If [the result of the query expression] is not empty, then [it] is
returned. The method of returning [it] is implementation-defined."
Then that's how this implementation defines it. :-)
