In a small bootstrap or other simulation one can end up by chance with a vector that doesn't behave; for example one with all values the same or with the one NA substituted into the whole vector. A common symptom is that the bootstrap sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, or only seems to work for small numbers of bootstrap replicates.

But you're right; with no data, one can only guess.
