This seems expected considering current design as we don't log the
directory entries in backup_manifest. In your case, you have tablespace
with no objects (empty tablespace) then backup_manifest does not have any
entry for this hence when you remove this tablespace directory, validator
could not detect it.

We can either document it or add the entry for directories in the manifest.
Robert may have a better idea on this.
