I think the reason an empty file is supplied is to trick iTunes into
thinking it is corrupt so a rebuild is triggered. Some reports even
have you emptying and using the original file. What you did possibly
triggers a different process.
I tried it with your empty text file as well. It was ignored. If you
look at the iTunes Library file, it has it's own itunes icon. It's not a
text file.
The Apple instructions don't say anything about creating a dummy file.

In any case, in all this tinkering, no dates ever appeared in iTunes.
