Strange "empty-function-body into broken-array" mutation?

See original GitHub issue

This looks like it wants to mutate

angular.module('juiceShop').controller('AboutController', [
  function () {}])

into

angular.module('juiceShop').controller('AboutController', [
  function () { })

which doesn’t seem like a good idea, syntax-wise with that missing closing angular bracket… or maybe it’s just rendered wrong in the HTML report?

I did remove the ‘use strict’ because I thought that triggered the mutation. But it still mutated the empty block.

I would just ignore empty blocks, if anything other than statements (even comments!) is in a block, it should mutate. This kind of brought the useless ‘use strict’ with no subsequent code to my attention.
