IBM has stated that this is not a problem with incremental backups.
     Could IBM comment on this statement from Chuck?

     We just went throught this panic as well.  It seems that it has
     everything to do with what type of backup you specified.  I believe
     that if you specify an incremental backup, the empty directories will
     appear with a restore.

Not in this case, We've never done anything but incrementals and it
happened here.
