Hi,
that would be of interest for me, just to understand how Emacs behaves.
Even with

Given the issue above wouldn't exist --which seems a more serious one--
that warning alone would tell me:
when Emacs was build these directories existed, now they are gone.
Then it should be OK providing empty directories to get rid of the
warning. (?)
