How about a mistake that perpetuated itself and sloppy editing ...
I suspect not, wow. The term is common in many engineering and related areas, and has been for many, many years, with the connotation of "how many are to come off this production line, or off this stock pile" and similar usages. And of course there is the (probably) related expression "one-off" meaning unique.
