I fixed this in 2.9.6 and 2.8.1.
It brings to light an interesting pecularity of the recycling rule.

Dear Herv? et al.
I noticed that setdiff(x, y) where 'x' is an IRangesList containing an
empty IRanges results in an error (see below). I would have expected the
function to return the IRangesList with an empty IRanges?
Many thanks for your help.
