This makes sense to me as well.

And what would happen if you manually uncheck half of the added files and then click added? Or unchecks all of them?

I still thinks that options that doesn't do anything should be grayed out. If you save a document, the save option gets grayed out until you make a change. If you press undo, the button gets grayed out when there are no more things to undo. They doesn't just stay enabled wating for a user to press it and then silently do nothing.
Graying out an option does also provide additional cues to the user, like that the document has not been modified since the last save in case of a save button, or the presence of added files in a list of files in our.
I just can't see why we should make an exception from a perfectly good GUI defacto standard here, without getting a single benefit from doing so!
