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.
If the nipple nut looks just like the others then the second eyelet is holding so it's good to ride. But you will have to pay attention to it that rim before every ride to make sure that particular area is not getting worse or the rim isn't cracking around the eyelet.
