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

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. (?)
