Comment (by bonefish):
I believe a regular build error does not result in this state. Jam doesn't
interrupt ongoing actions but rather waits for them to finish. So unless
the package extraction itself fails, the directory either should not have
been created or shouldn't remain empty.
Manually interrupting the build process (Ctrl-C) does, however, interrupt
ongoing actions. I.e. if you interrupt the actions between creating the
directory and extracting the package, you may indeed get an empty
directory.
Unfortunately jam doesn't remove directory targets when the actions
creating them fail or are interrupted. So there's little that can be done
(unless anyone wants to hack jam).
