Because the directories shouldn't be there at all. If you kill shelve
after you've shelved some changes, then the directories will be present
and have contents. Being present and empty is just a special case of
them being present.
Special handling makes bzr's behaviour less predictable, and I don't
think it should be done for rare failure modes.
