Are you in Row mode or Record mode? It sounds like the latter. Google
Refine interprets spreadsheet rows with empty leading cells as part of a
pseudo-record with the row(s) above so that you can do things like:

Name Roles
Smith Partner
Judge

If you switch to Row mode, the facet will work the way you expect.
