In most cases, it's the XML file that contains the "root node" for the document, which almost never contains actual text, but only links to the other XML files that represent the individual chapters and sections. However, it's not safe for Publican or Transifex always to ignore the file that contains the root node, because it's possible that an author /might/ have placed some translatable content in there. If you find this too distracting, you could file a feature request for Publican not to create a PO file if the corresponding POT file is empty,[0] or a feature request for Transifex not to serve empty PO files[1], or both! Otherwise, as Eric says, just ignore any files with 0 strings in them; it doesn't affect the translation or your translation statistics in any way.
