That /would/ be a bug, because:
3.257. save_empty
Type: boolean
Default: yes
When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed when
closed (the exception is $spoolfile which is never removed). If set, mailboxes
↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
are never removed.
Note: This only applies to mbox and MMDF folders, Mutt does not delete MH and
Maildir directories.
Unless, that is, the OP has an unusual idea of what a $spoolfile is.
Cheers,
David.
