This is a known bug, but there are a number of work-arounds to it.

You can build over the spot and deconstruct the area, you can expose it to the sky and hope the rain washes it away, if you're using dwarfhack you can delete the smear, you can assign a dwarf to the burrow containing the splatter and increase the chance he'll clean it...There are probably a few others, but I can't think of anything else.

Where is the spatter located? Is it inside? Is it inside a designated room?

Inside and outside, and not a designated room (invaders have never penetrated so deeply). Also, bridges and traps.

Does 0001140 explain this?

yes! Interesting... I was thinking of it as crafted/detailed vs natural not aboveground vs underground
