This is an interesting issue, and the answer really depends on how evangelistic 
you are regarding PKI.  Since the content protected by the certificate does not 
use it - and I assume will never use it again - personally I don't believe it's 
a big problem.

*However*, people should never be given an excuse to get into the habit of 
ignoring certificate errors.  Any time an active website uses an invalid 
certificate, it only encourages poor user behaviour.  Ergo, you can say that 
it's best to remove any invalid certificates, which is being a good security 
citizen, which in turn helps keep the trust model of PKI working.
