I think the doc strings do need to say that the file name is
added/modified in the Dired buffer, but that's a separate issue.
Maybe to make the doc string of dired-create-empty-file hint at that,
instead "create empty file" say something like "add an empty file to
the current directory"?
That could suggest that we just add an entry in Dired (not writing to disk).

How about following two (first with long forst line, second split it in 2):

"Create an empty file called FILE, add a new entry for it in the Dired buffer.
Parent directories of FILE are created as needed.
If FILE already exists, signal an error."
