I had this same problem, though I didn't look into it as thoroughly as you.
Out of desperation (I was working on a friend's machine at work, and didn't
want to leave tracks), shooting in the dark, I placed a file in this folder,
and then finder had no problem with it. I was a happy camper. I'd also be
interested in a clarification of this.
