<p dir="ltr">Or possibly somebody changed the meaning of the tag on the wiki, without telling dinosaurs like myself. At first it was a tag that went on ways which are a dead end for cars. It got an icon in JOSM when put on nodes and people started using it on end nodes.</p>

It is a signal to quality checking programs such as KeepRight. It shows that when a way ends near another way but doesn't connect, that there is no physical connection on the ground.<br>

For your example, the usage is not correct because there is a track connected to the road. Possibly the track was added later and the mapper did not notice the noexit tag on the road.<br>
