Yes, but that is just a Tidy warning. The HTML is valid, at least in
XHTML strict.
Of course an empty div will have no semantics behind it, but it can be
used in conjunction with CSS for various effects, and could quite
possibly be a handle used by Javascript for some DOM trickery. I've
used them in CSS to clear floats when there was no tag with appropriate
semantics to use. Adding a little CSS to the page we get:

Then adding a bit more targeting DIVs, we get:
http://test.sauyet.com/CSS/EmptyDiv3/
So, they can be useful.
This is, I think, a legitimate use of tan empty tag. I think it is a
bug for Wicket to clean this up, especially if as it seemed it replaced
the empty tag with an open tag only.
