At this point I'm convinced it's very intentional given that oddity that you can only see it during umbral winds and its presence is extremely fleeting, with it suddenly appearing at around 8 PM ET and disappearing as quickly as it appears by the time 12 AM rolls around.

There's also umbral winds on the moon itself and in Ultima Thule, which I feel is suggesting some kind of connection.

If anything, this might be something that comes up in the 6.x MSQ bits as there's hints of at least some of that story being focused on the moon as per Thancred and Urianger. I personally think that its existence is not so simple as "Hydaelyn made it" and we'll learn the full truth via an expedition to parts that lie outside of Mare Lamentorum.
