Anyone find a use for it? A really small water bottle, or one of those storage bottles maybe? I was at the bike shop looking and test-fitting, and they didn't have anything short enough. Of course I could make a little bracket and move it towards the BB...
Anyways, thanks in advance!

It's for another water bottle. Though what actually works depends on your frame size and fenders. You might be able to use a smaller bottle.
The bosses for a third water bottle are traditional/customary for touring bikes: it's how you know a bike is a tourer!!
Some tourers carry fuel for their stove there (where the fuel won't do too much damage if it leaks).
