In flat mode, if I delete all the files in a directory such directory disappears, to reappear as empty when recomparing.

Do you really need it?
Well, here it comes.
Starting point

- 1.jpg (180.5 KiB) Viewed 29519 times
Deletion (the empty directory disappears)

- 2.jpg (171.6 KiB) Viewed 29519 times
Recompare (the empty directory reappears at the top of the list)

- 3.jpg (171.96 KiB) Viewed 29519 times
P.S. I think this still holds:

Is this version 16? Also, was there a message about deleting the folder that became empty?

Good point! The answer is: no.
And "Prompt to delete empty directories after deleting their contents" is checked.
