Thanks to all who responded. The device is indeed connected across (i.e. in parallel to) the power supply pins, so it cannot likely be a low ohm resistor or a fuse. It appears to be a tantalum capacitor. The measured capacitance is about 4.75uF. Photo taken after removing excess solder with wick: http://www.pisi.com.pl/piotr433/misc/bluething2.jpg
