Isn't it just a black hole for the guest account?

That I can guess
just curious about what it is used for? And wildly guessing that it maybe was running under guest privileges and dumped in to /var/empty

/var/empty is owned by root. That's the point, it's supposed to be empty and stay empty, nobody has write access. It was some kind of installer crap running as root that dumped stuff there.
