My bigger concern is the piece still attached to the tail. Is it just a patch, or does it go all the way around the tail? A small patch isn't a problem and will normally come off on its own. Shed that goes all the way around the tail can become a problem if you don't get it off. There is a potential for blood flow restriction.
Neat, I didn't know it's that common. I've only been through one shed however so I haven't seen it.
