As Dave Balderstone wrote, you have to specify "without invisibles" when
listing the folder to not list that file.
The file's full name has a carriage return as the last character, by the
way.
It stores the custom icon for a folder; at one time, that's all that it
did. Now, it serves other functions, such as pointers to attached
scripts. So, even if the folder doesn't have a custom icon, it can still
have this invisible file.
