That particular example is one left behind by the licence change 
redaction process (see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License in the wiki for 
some information about that).  What probably happened was:

1) Someone how didn't agree to have their data licensed under the new 
licence added a feature

2) Someone who did added extra detail to that feature (including the 
node that you see left behind)

3) The redaction process removed the contribution by (1) but left the 
contribution by (2).

Where that node is, therefore, is something that someone thought worthy 
of mapping that isn't represented on the map.  Rather than just deleting 
it, I'd go there and see what that thing might be, and map it again.

Cheers,

Andy
