The export currently adds (attr smd), which marks the footprint as an SMD component (which internally sets the MOD_CMS attribute, and in the GUI marks the component as "Normal+Insert"). This causes it to be exported in a .pos file for a pick & place machine. Since this is just a silkscreen and not an actual component, this makes no sense. This commit instead sets (attr virtual) (which internally sets MOD_VIRTUAL, and in the GUI marks the component as "Virtual") which causes it to be ignored by various parts of kicad that iterate over actual components.
