I am an inspector and one way of handling this situation is to document the blanked up outlet as no fixture installed. I am not naive enough to think that a fixture will not be installed. Electrical Code does not require a fixture in a closet. If you install a fixture in a closet it must comply with 410.8 of the NEC. If a fixture gets installed after the fact and I don't inspect it, my backside is covered.
