Gaurav, I think you are now pointing at one of the qualities of our API that need to be addressed in 5.0 [1]. I may be wrong but I don't think a standard behavior in these cases is defined and every list api has a choice of several conventions to folow. Feel free to define what the behavior should be in a future version by editing [1] :)
