That is a bit like always telling others when making cables not to forget to slide the connector cap on before soldering, and what do you do yourself, forget to slide on the cap :palm:

TerraHertz:
When you forgot to put a 'revision #' on the silkscreen, so you mark a pin as the rev #?

The idea 'insulate the pin from a screw' doesn't work, since there are two pins with identical spacing from the hole. And the screw/washer would contact the solder fillet anyway.

CatalinaWOW:
Could this be something like the false streets placed in maps to detect plagiarism?  Something that has no real purpose placed there.  Then in court a counterfeiters inability to explain the purpose would be evidence.

if you look closely you can see that the other nearby pins are connected to the same ground plane as the mounting hole

There's an idea!

Hmmm. Maybe I should say all my mistakes are false streets rather than apologise for the cockups.
