  Comments:
There are many obscure A+B constructions in JMdict that we probably shouldn't record. The question is whether they're worth the time and effort to discuss and prune.

This one looks like it falls on the "we wouldn't add it today, but it's harmless" end of the spectrum. If it had close to 0 counts and no refs, I'd argue for removing it.
