Its a  
as in:

<!-- BLJ add bar to break at bottom of posts -->
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr valign="bottom" align="left">
<td class="tfoot">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- /BLJ -->

I localized the page and removed &nbsp;, leaving
<td class="tfoot"></td>
and the whole bar disappeared.

I then decided to see what happens if I made it an a:

Well, the bar reappeared and so did the a.
Seems that there needs to be some text present, but even a space changes the color at that point.

The non breaking space appears to be there because at the time our local template-editing admin was unaware of the possibility of using CSS to dictate the height of an empty element, rather than inserting a non breaking space

If an block element is empty naturally it defaults to zero height. It could be solved simply by adding an extra rule to the template CSS.

tfoot
{
  min-height: 1em;
}
