That's strange.

My copy of the console(4) man page doesn't mention this, and that's
not exactly surprising since what you've got there is a regular file,
not a char device like /dev/console.

Best guess is this is the result of a rogue script or broken udev
rule.  Any idea what program you ran around at 13:55 yesterday?
