Ok, If I want to have this behaviour, I would first create the subdirectories and than create the sync group pointing to these subdirectories. Maybe a checkbox with "create subdirectory" could be more explanatory for the user.

The other thing is, that this behavior still occurs whith a two-way-sync between 2 directories. This result is not really useable. Here (I think) the names should be ignored.
