Ah, sorry, my misunderstanding. Yes, that makes some kind of sense. The 
description here comes from the free text "note" qualifier for the INSDC 
gene feature, though I suspect this is truncated to 255 chars on storing 
to Ensembl as I'm misusing the display_label to store this information 
here.

Looking at L42023, it seems that the submitter for at least some of 
these the submitter added a form of the locus_tag to the end of the 
note, though I wouldn't rely on it as a general source e.g.
FT   gene            928097..929402
FT                   /pseudo
FT                   /locus_tag="HI_0875"
FT                   /note="This region contains an authentic frame 
shift and is
FT                   not the result of a sequencing artifact; similar to
FT                   PID:1438114 percent identity: 54.31; identified by 
sequence
FT                   similarity; putative;peptidase B (pepB), authentic
FT                   frameshift; HI0875"

As I've said, I'll see if I can get the revised pipeline running again 
so may be able to provide a mapping file in due course if its a problem 
for you not having the labels reliably present.

Dan.
