You're safe to delete those files from the restored version of your base
backup prior to commencing startup with a recovery.conf.
When they are missing they will be recreated automatically.
When we agree on how to fix it, which should be soon, I would imagine
that the fix can be back patched to 8.0 and 8.1 and fixed prior to
release in 8.2.
