If there is no marked entry, the Boolean quantum oracle is the identity. The uniform superposition state is a positive eigenstate of the Grover diffusion operator:Thus every iteration leaves the full state unchanged. The measured search bits have the uniform distributionOnly the first qubits are measured in the printed circuit. If the untouched ancilla were also measured in the computational basis, its bit would be an independent fair bit, giving probability for each joint outcome.
