strsplit ignores empty strings at the end.
[[1]]
[1] ""  "a"

This should really give:
[1] ""  "a"  ""

Some might say this is a feature, but strsplit should be the reverse of paste, I
think.
#
A workaround would be to append # onto the end of the string:
[[1]]
[1] "abc" "def"

[[2]]
[1] "abc" ""

[[3]]
[1] ""    "def"
