So, no, this was not them just leaving it by accident, it simply didn't matter and was used just to show a visual placeholder.
However with the release of WP8, the high rez screen support is here now and the human eye can actually read it. Whether that is an issue for users, I don't know. It doesn't bother me but obviously bothers others.
BTW this subject has been discussed already on these forums.
