This particular command looks dangerous - you probably meant rmdir
instead. And probably one '*' less. Or actually more ('**', after
enabling 'starglob' shell option).
Maybe something like this instead:

    find /home/user/QubesIncoming -type d -empty -delete

Anyway, I don't think it should be enabled by default - automatic
removal (or in any other way altering) user files in home directory is
not something we'd like to do. If anything, it should be disabled by
default.

As for anti-forensic - I'd expect that there are much more places like
this - like file manager cache/history, shell history, various
application's caches etc. If you want non-persistence (of VM existence
fact in this case), use DispVMs.
