"Useless"  tags are usually generated by one of the visual editors as a course of "normal" casual editing. Leaving them in will do nothing since there is nothing to not-parse between them. It is only the pairs with something "inside" them which might alter the wanted result/appearance of the page.

I believe something like AWB can be programmed to remove useless nowiki-pairs, but I'm not sure since I don't use AWB.
