The explanation is rather obvious but occurs in the PDF manual:
"If a subpath is degenerate (consists of a single-point closed path or of two or more points at the same coordinates), the S operator shall paint it only if round line caps have been specified, producing a filled circle centered at the single point. If butt or projecting square line caps have been specified, S shall produce no output, because the orientation of the caps would be indeterminate."
