Empty directories not exported as artifacts

We're using TeamCity Enterprise Version 3.1 (build 6760) and have a problem that it seems to ignore empty directories when passing on artifacts from one build configuration to another.

Take as an example two build configurations A and B.

A has artifact path:
A=>A

B has artifact dependency on A with paths:
A/.
A/*

B also expects a certain directory structure that comes from build A and includes an empty directory. Unfortunately only files (jars, images etc) produced by A get passed on to B. Empty directories are missed out.

Is this something you are going to fix ?

Thanks
