Do you mean directories which contain dotfiles?
This also applies linux.
Netatalk doesn't see them but can tell that this directory is not empty.
But I tried just that scenario:
1. created an empty folder (mac)
2. created (touched) a dotfile within that (u*x)
3. dropped it into the trash (mac)
4. tried to empty the trash (mac)
error: ...contains items that are in use...
5. put away (cmd-y) (mac)
error: The folder <folder> could not be put away, because it was created on the desktop.
The last looks strange!
