That's the value of the DOT ONLY on a dotted 16th. So I added a dot to the last 16th note in the run, and Finale was happy. Actually, that's even more symetrical, since the first 16th in the run is dotted also.
So, if you want it to come out proper, you need to add a 32nd time-value somewhere in that run -- my way or some other.
Wish I could figure out how to upload an image of the darned thing.

Maybe that would explain why I tried to duplicate that measure in Sibelius and couldn't. Well crap.
I'm still not sure I understand that measure. I don't know exactly what the dotted rhythm note is for. I understand the staccatos. But the other dot is throwing me off... of course, I don't read music. :/
