Dear Reinhard,

according to the BHQ (which, I suppose, You checked) the Cairo codex of
Prophetes
does have a Sōf Pasūq here (You can check a facsimille - which could e.g. be
found in
Heidelberg, WTS, signature AT Ca 40 ;-). The Cairo codex is (according to the
colophone) more than 100 years older than L and perhaps about 50 years older
than A.
(Actually it is the oldest dated masoretic ms we know about.)

So this may be possibly be an error which became later a part of the
tradition,
or was just copied.

As for the possibility of some interpretation I found nothing in jewish
commentaries
and midrashim (however my database is very simple and contains only the most
important
of them).

I'll try to check in masoretic lists. (If it really would be an important
tradition
I guess it would be mentioned in Mp of some codices...)

best wishes from Prague,
Petr
