I think the folder should only be affected by this setting if all the data within is outside of the time range (meaning the folder would be left empty).
In reference to our migration we have hundreds/thousands of folders containing data that falls outside our time range for being migrated. But because the folder had been edited (some data inside deleted) the folder date falls within the time range. Essentially, this is ignoring all files within the folder because their date remains unchanged, but bringing the empty folder across. Thus leaving us with hundreds of empty folders.
Possibly a feature to scan for all empty folders within SharePoint with the option to delete could also be a smaller work-around for this.
