If FarCry is asked to render an object that doesn't exist it will create temporary object of the nominated type, populated with the default values nominated for that content type. This is called a "default object", but is simply a framework artefact and shouldn't really enter into normal FarCry development.
This dump looks a lot like a default object, so I'd say you possibly have the objectid in the URL for an object that doesn't actually exist in in the system. This behaviour is an artefact of the way we build edit forms -- when you are creating an object for the first time you need to populate the edit handler with something. You have many scenarios where forms are never completed, so if we created the object in the database first we end up with a lot of dud records. This has the unfortunate consequence of confusing folks who are explicitly rendering a content item that doesn't actually exist in the system.
