I had that problem too if I viewed the zip file with Ubuntu Archive Manager - but the empty subfolder was there when I actually extracted the zip file

Like Robert said, this appears to be a bug in the Ubuntu Archive Manager, rather than a bug in our creation of zip files. When I follow the test instructions on my computer (which uses a slightly different zip archive viewer because I'm using the MATE desktop) I do see the empty directories. And when Robert actually expanded the archive that he had created, he saw the empty directories in the expanded contents.
