+---+------+
| a | b |
+---+------+
| 1 | NULL |

expected:
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | NULL |
| NULL | 1 |
+------+------+
SELECT 1 AS a, NULL AS b, NULL AS c
UNION
SELECT NULL AS a, 1 AS b, NULL AS c
UNION
SELECT NULL AS a, NULL AS b, 1 AS c;
+---+------+------+
| a | b | c |
+---+------+------+
| 1 | NULL | NULL |
| 0 | | NULL |
| 0 | NULL | |
+---+------+------+
contrast with:
SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b, 2 AS c
UNION
SELECT 2 AS a, 1 AS b, 2 AS c
UNION
SELECT 2 AS a, 2 AS b, 1 AS c;
+---+---+---+
| a | b | c |
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 |
+---+---+---+
which is what I expected.
>Fix:
look for result sets being set instead of set to a truth value.
