I have just switched to Maildir, and I have noticed something. Even
though it works properly, I have noticed that a file named

with 0 bytes length is still created. Is this normal?
I use sendmail+procmail+dovecot. I have also tried the combined
procmail+deliver approach with the same results. I also use a global
/etc/procmailrc.
I had a similar issue and I think it was a Procmail thing.
It stopped being a problem for me anyway because I changed some config
in my MTA (Exim4) for another reason which happened to mean that
Procmail was no longer invoked in most cases.
But I think it may be fixable in the Procmail space.
What is in your /etc/procmailrc ?
