Do you see it in http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1460137282 or 
does it come from the style? In the source data, there seems to be 
seamark:light:sequence="3+(1)". Is this causing the error?

The marine style was written by Mark Burton, who appears to have 
disappeared since then. (Does anyone know what happened?)

The marine style points file defines this rule:

seamark:light:sequence=* { add mkgmap:xt-note='Sequence: 
${seamark:light:sequence}'; }

I guess that this tag is being processed by the mkgmap core. I think 
that you should answer the following questions?

1. Is the source data correct?
2. Can this be represented in the Garmin format? How?

If the data is incorrect, correct it, either at the source or (not so 
nice approach) in the style file, for example so that only the part 
before the + sign is chosen.

If the translation can be improved, then we need some fix for the 
handling of mkgmap:xt-note in the mkgmap core.
