This should be referred to the IEEE 1364 ETF.

And since the ETF will probably change the requirement on the repeat count
from "non-zero" to "positive", making the nonpositive cases illegal, it is
not appropriate for SystemVerilog to try to define a particular behavior.

While the production of a 1-bit zero is the most common outcome in
Verilog-XL, with certain command line switches and with certain expressions
being replicated, Verilog-XL will produce other results. So this behavior
is not really defined even by the de facto standard.
