| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="" | stats list(a)

vs.

| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="0" | stats list(a)

... shows only one result, even though

| makeresults | eval a="1" | append [| makeresults | eval b="2"] | fillnull value="" | stats list(a) AS z | eval w=mvcount(z) | table w

... counts 2. Isn't this the whole point of using fillnull? What's the most elegant workaround? This seems to be super dangerous and misleading

Per @dmarling a workaround to this bug is to fillnull with alt+255
