Those results are wholly unsurprising (Version 8). After all, look at
some sampled values in the domains, e.g.:
1.0 + 2.0^-47 Range[-5, 5, .1] // NumberForm[#, 15] &
1.02 + 2.0^-47 Range[-5, 5, .1] // NumberForm[#, 15] &
And then take Cos of each list.
Actually, the plot from the first expression does NOT look empty to me:
I see a thickened horizontal axis located at height y = 0.54. Using
option AxesOrigin -> {0,0} reveals what appears to be a line at that height.
And the plot from the second is essentially a linearization, given that
its range is from around 0.523365951251619 to 0.52336595125168.
