Re: (2) The more generic warning is that Ant should warn about empty FileSets. That way the warning is useful for all the file based tasks.

The practical consequence of this behavior is that typos in the build.xml file and/or clobbered source files are not discovered until runtime, and possibly in a confusing way. It seems to me that if you ask ant to compile something which doesn't exist, ant should at least spit out a warning.
