As far as I understand, if the [] is absent, any data that might go into the trailing S would go into the leading S. If it is present and OC contains a comma, then any data that might go into the trailing S would go into the OC. Otherwise, it would go into the last S of the repeat expression or into the S after the first item -- at any rate, no data can wind up in that position.
It does no harm, and it might be too late to change the ABNF -- but it should be documented somewhere, and this issue is as good as any place for it. Feel free to just close it if it's not going to be changed.
