That makes more sense. So if I wanted to make sure any med of 0 is changed to 2^32 I would have to use a route-map and is this something I would want to do in the first place?

The command is working correctly. The key point to keep in mind
is 'missing' MED. A MED of NULL and a MED of 0 are not the same. In
the case presented here, all MEDs that were missing received a value of
2^32, and everything else remained the same.
