Hi Group,
Sounds to me like the walls are holding the charge, not the vacuum.
Can someone, Richard Hull maybe, give their definition of charge? I thought
it had to do with electrons.
I have no problem with EM waves traveling in space, and if the electric
field is there because of or is causing a charge then OK space can hold
charge without matter. I still can't see space holding static charge
without matter to keep it there. 
Richard have you heard of the Tolman and Steward effect? It is found that a
metal rod moving at a high velocity in the longitudinal direction will
become charged, if rapidly stopped, such that the front end will become
negative wrt the back as if the electrons have piled up. I would say metals
hold lots of charge, free electrons.
