 > Even if this is the new standard WP attachment behavior, the upload
 should not be creating an empty directory for the current year+month.

 > Using the publication date rather than the file upload date might make
 sense for a timestamped Post, but it doesn't make sense for years-old
 Pages (in which the pub date is largely irrelevant).

 Could this be turned into 2 tickets? One is a bug - the empty directory
 being created. Two is a feature request - it'd be great if under Media
 Settings you could choose whether you wanted media uploads backdated to
 the publication date of the post/page they're attached to. Could separate
 out the options, so that you could e.g. backdate on posts but not on
 pages.
