Research direction
Start by reproducing the two ManualParameter slicing examples from the issue, then read the ManualParameter slicing entry point and compare the non-empty and empty ranges. Done means list(p[0:0:1]) returns an empty list without raising an error while the existing non-empty case continues to work.
