Good find! If that isn't the solution, then it sure is one heck of a coincidence.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if that is it. Similar things -- adding a fictional item that will not affect navigation, such as a small dead-end street or irrelevant feature -- is not at all uncommon among map-makers, creating an intentional but non-functional "error" so that plagiarists can be identified.
