Comment (by bcworkz):

 I'm not qualified to say if it's intentional or not, but it makes sense to
 me. I see it as a suggestion to move a metabox to the empty column. If you
 only have one metabox displayed, it's not possible to fill the empty
 column without adding unwanted boxes. So in that case the empty container
 politely disappears.

 I'd just as soon it never appears. If I want an empty column that's my
 business and the empty container mars the single column look. So I'm not
 in favor of your "fix". But I understand the need to illustrate to new
 users that something can go there, and how the disappearing behavior can
 seem odd.
