It is common - I quite often come across them. And I have several times
caught myself making them by idly double-clicking when thinking of
something else. I hope I have caught and removed all those I have made -
if not, please remove them for me!
I am quite happy to blame software for some of them - no software is
perfect. But this applies to the 'liveware' too.

PS there was also until recently a bug in Potlatch II which created
nodes when the background image was changed - see

Andy,
Thanks for your reply. I just visited that place in person (which was
why I was doing edits in the area). I can't think of anything
observable on the ground that could be mapped where those nodes are
that would also have been part of a Tiger Import. If the community
would prefer, I can just leave them. Since I was doing edits in the
area I thought I would clean them up. BTW, I have seen this in other
areas, and I have seen it before the redaction bot was run. Although
each case may be different, it seems that in general this is a common
occurrence.

Can nodes with no tags (e.g. node54182420

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
