New Sure is.
I wonder if it might be the payload of some innocuous worm that has been lieing dormant for some time waiting for some trigger. I have nothing to support this thought but paranoia and the coincidence. It's the first time I've seen this as well.
Oh ick... interesting times....

The really weird thing is - it's the SOFTWARE key in particular. This is the most important key in the registry. Of course if your copy of user.dat stored in local settings is missing, that shouldn't directly affect the SOFTWARE key - that's in system.dat and it's under WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32.

New Yeah, brain fart
The most noticeable thing was that the directory had gone away. On inspection WINNT\\system32\\config\\system and WINNT\\system32\\config\\system.alt had also both gone away as well.
I find the whole thing strange in any event.
Still, toast is toast... the machine is still rebuilding over the network and I'm using a laptop which is murder on my carpal tunnel, so I'm *REALLY* in a mood today.
