Follow-up Comment #3:

It is pretty much stated in the manual that a range multiplied by a scalar
gives another range, although maybe an extra example showing why you may not
want that when dealing with floating point values would be warranted.

I think it's safe to say this is expected behavior, suggestions for patches to
the manual welcome.
