RTFM ;-) [bsd 4.2: man 5 mklost+found]
/lost+found is not just a directory, it is directory with
free entries for fsck, which you can make self (create
N files to the directory and then remove those dummy files).
Without free entries your fsck won't work, and you find
yourself in a deeper trouble when your fs crashes ;-)
Changing fsck to greate those entries is ^%#$#^& bad idea.
