It isn't any more difficult to write a script to report non-empty
lost+found directories.

Well, then I argue that there isn't a reason to reserve 4 or 8 K off a
file system for a lost+found.  That's insignificant compared to the
space you waste on inodes, bitmaps, and replicated super-blocks.

I believe only when unlinking.  And a directory uses at least a FS
block anyway.
