I’m also affected by this issue.

But is quilt really supposed to remove the .pc directory?

The quilt(1) manpage says:

 Files in the .pc directory are automatically removed when they are
 no longer needed, so there is no need to clean up manually.

Note that this mentions only files, and not the directory itself.

Moreover, there is bug #496630 opened against quilt that asks for a new
command that would precisely delete the .pc folder (and someone
suggests to rather add this behaviour to the “pop” command, implying
that it is not implemented).

Finally, I looked at the source code for the “quilt pop” command and I
saw nothing related to removing the .pc directory.

So, unless I’m missing something, this issue is not a bug in quilt, and
it should thus be fixed in git-buildpackage (unless someone convinces
the quilt upstream authors to implement a change in behaviour).
