It doesn't surprise me too much that the maven-jar-plugin still creates
empty directories even when all files that were in that directory have
been excluded. I haven't checked myself, but it sounds like a situation
that the plugin author could easily have overlooked.

But it doesn't cause any problems does it? Just a minor wastage of space
in the generated jarfile?

In this case, it is probably worth filing a jira issue for this, but it
should be marked "minor" or even "trivial" unless it causes actual
problems for programs.
