Empty Table Switch Node Problems in Knime 3.2.1

I have a condition where a row filter may generate empty rows so i am trying to use the Empty Table Switch to generate a row with the desired columns and use the cross joiner to combine both conditions.

However in Knime 3.2.1 this does not seem to work properly. See screen shot of simple example. The Empty Table Switch and Constant Value Colummn node at the bottom creates an empty table.

Not sure what i am doing wrong. 

See attached image for a simple example.

Thanks
