This issue is part of some old bugs that I discovered end of 2012. It
seems like my patch from then
http://orgmode.org/w/org-mode.git?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff;h=764315
resolved it only partially and I missed the case of a range with only
empty fields, although I tested and approved it in my ERTs... The
attached patch corrects.

It is worth a small compatibility change: For a range with only empty
fields it is now possible and necessary to choose different behaviors
of vmean by adding the format specifiers E and/or N.
