I've defo seen it before... with a gear hanger... or evidence of one. Someone suggested it may of been added on after original build, then later removed... anyway... thats as much as I remember...
There was another one and I commented on it in contribution number 56238 on page 1125 of this thread. It had been butchered quite a bit by someone converting it to use as a road bike.

I had some Topeak versions of those and the threaded element sheared off whilst I was down some Welsh country lane miles from anywhere. Despite having a spare valve extension, I could not pump the tyre up anymore initially until I managed to get the broken bit out of the head of the pump. Found that the neck of the extender is wafer thin and it was little wonder that it had sheared off.
I am the sort of person who will test their spare tyre and pump with a dummy run at home to try a foresee any potential problems out on the road, but this was not a problem I had expected and it was to cut short a cycling weekend away. Despite my likeness for the Topeak brand, I am looking for an alternative when it comes to valve extensions.
