It might have been one of those things that wasn't in the script, and was something the storyboarders or animators added in. But it had nothing to do with anything, and it kind of dulls any impact it would have if a future episode actually used it as a plot point (and, for that matter, the impact it had when "The Cutie Map" already did use it as a plot point).
The loss of the cutie marks in Tirek's case is just a matter of internal consistency. Cutie Marks are explicitly magical, so it stands that draining all the magic from a pony would take it away.
