Could just have been damaged from the go. Sometimes my plants make janke looking leaves. I’m not sure it means anything specifically unless it keeps on happening. Like successive leaves are similarly damaged. In this case I would probably remove the offending node and let it continue from a healthy producing node. You can do this with your variegated plants to ‘select’ for more or less variegated leaves.

that’s an extreme measure for one unsightly leaf. it’s likely just mechanical damage or possibly a watering issue. removing a portion of the stem, even if it’s attached to an “ugly” leaf, is unnecessary and likely going to stress the plant. winter is not a good time to prune your plants, especially if they’re not in perfect health.
