I agree with you.
But does the section in the Vocabulary for dyadic $
that refers to fit & fill describe the behaviour seen
by the expression: 4$!.999[i.0  ?

http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d210.htm

"The shape of x$y is x,siy where siy is the shape of an item of y; x$y
gives a length error if y is empty and x,siy does not contain a zero."

"The fit conjunction ($!.f) provides fill specified by the atom f , or
the normal fill defined under Take ({.) if f is an empty vector."
