If the rivet inside is fine then it's good to ride, if not then one of the fixes I mentioned could make the rim good to ride.
Yes, I read your post.
Once the tire/tube/tape is removed, I couldn't really see much. There's a large outer hole, and what looks like a small nylock nut down in there. I couldn't see anything that looked much different from any of the other spoke heads. I had to clamp onto the spoke with pliers to turn the nipple and once the spoke tightened up and trued I didn't inspect further. It's an odd wheel.
