Comment:

 It shouldn't be a 404.  What's displayed on this page should be handled by
 the theme's `category.php` file.  Just because something doesn't have
 posts, doesn't mean it's an invalid URL.

 WordPress will also link to a category without posts using:

 {{{wp_list_categories( array( 'hide_empty' => false ) );}}}

 I'm going to mark this one as invalid unless others think this needs more
 discussion.
