  Comments:
Interesting frequencies. All my refs put 空しい in front of 虚しい, apart from GG5 which only has 空しい. Tanaka has two examples with 空しい and the other 6 use kana. I think the word is common enough to keep the "P", so I'll tag 虚しい.

  Comments:
I can't see any good evidence that sense 3 is restricted to 虚しい, indeed if it is, then it has to be a separate entry as it would break the 2/3 rule to have it here. Neither of the refs above show that that meaning is restricted to the 虚しい surface form, in fact 1642360 has 空しくなる first.
What I propose to do is drop the restriction and notes (effectively putting it back to where Rene proposed it a few days ago), approve it, then reopen to see if any hard evidence emerges to justify a further change.
