My point is more about filesets in general rather than within delete
specifically. I'd have thought that since old behaviour is unlikely to be
relied on in build files (the implication is that something outside the build
script *must* create certain directories otherwise the build fails) changing
the behaviour to simply not cause an exception in the directory scanner but
rather do a "zero matches" result would suffice.

I think it would be require something like the following:
- flag in <fileset>;
- lazy <fileset> initialization, so <delete> can set this flag;
- <delete> should always set this flag on all provided filesets.
