Indeed, life always finds a way.
My vote would be "snip".
I totally get that it probably won't make a difference one way or the other, however, you clearly took action to have a clean and clear understory on this plant. Presumably with the idea of directing all the plant's energy to the prime flower sites higher in the canopy. Why stray from that at this point? I'm not suggesting that leaving it would undo you previous efforts, but I am suggesting that to leave it would be counter to your initial intent/plan, and that this far in, it should likely take more than a whim to get you to do something else.
If you want to see what happens if you leave things like that little guy, then start another seed and don't train or manipulate the plant, just let it be. My prognostication is that you'll get a range of buds, some of which aren't going to be beautiful, tight, or any of the other adjectives we use today to describe top-shelf flower, but that they will all "get the job done".
Of course YMMV.
