What version of dpkg were you using when this happened? dpkg has changed to more aggressively remove empty directories included in the package; I think it does an additional "attempt to remove directories whose removal failed before removal/purge". In that case, this is a dpkg bug (it should use lstat, and confirm that "directories" included in the package are actually directories, and not symlinks to such).
