[SunHELP] filesystem question

I was just nosing around a machine and found the following...

If I "cd /opt/lost+found"
I see a directory "#028482"
If I "cd #028482", I end up at "/"

I've unmounted the /opt filesystem and fsck'd it.  There are currently no 
errors.

What's happening here?
Can I "cd /opt/lost+found" and "rmdir #028482" safely?
If "rmdir" doesn't work, should I "rm -rf #028482"?

Thanks.

Solaris 2.5.1, if it's of any importance...
