This is a rather big gotcha! You asked LC to create an empty item and then
put a number into your place holder. LC deleted an item instead, which then
mangled your data.

If LC acted consistently then I'd agree that just learning that a delimiter
followed by empty is not an item, but if that is the case then whenever you
ask LC to create an empty item then LC should ensure there is a delimiter
after it.

It's just a PITA to keep checking
