Default How does the Epiphone 3-way switch work?

This relates to my thread about my project ES-339.

I've never had a Gibson/Epiphone electric. When I put the 3-way in the middle position (neck/bridge) I get no sound at all unless the volume on both pickups are moved off 0. So:

Bridge Vol 0, Neck Vol 10 - no sound
Bridge Vol 10, Neck Vol 0 - no sound
Bridge Vol > 0, Neck Vol > 0 - sound

Is this the way it supposed to work? It is not what I would expect.
