That's probably deliberate because an empty changeset is not really very interesting.

Indeed the starting condition for any changeset list conditions_nonempty from https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/controllers/changesets_controller.rb#L45,

This is a strange solution: empty changeset is a sign of an error in the editor

[woodpeck]

No, it is possible that the user wanted to upload a change (and the editor duly created a changeset) but then it turned out that the change could not be uploaded due to a conflict (someone else had modified the object in the mean time) and the user decides not to proceed. Other similar situations are possible and there is no way to "cancel" a changeset once opened.

Actually judging by the comment the main purpose was to eliminate in process changesets that hadn't had any uploads yet.

If there's a need to see these empty changesets, you can still use the OSM API: https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changesets?display_name=TrickyFoxy
