After close inspection, it turned out that http://www.apsnet.org/publications/commonnames/Pages/Mango.aspx contains "Impact damage Fruit injury from mishandling during harvest or grading" in section "MISCELLANEOUS DISEASES and DISORDERS".

Due to pruning of names, the phrase "Fruit injury from mishandling during harvest or grading" was interpreted as "Fruit", leading to the dubious assertion that "Fruit" is a pathogen of mango (Mangifera indica). As fruit is produced by plants, GloBI classified the pathogen taxa to be Plantae.

So, it appears that the root cause of this suspicious interaction is the aps dataset produced by Samara (see https://github.com/jhpoelen/samara). Will open a separate issue on that project.

Just confirmed that the suspicious record no longer exists. Now, the phrase "Fruit injury from mishandling during harvest or grading" appears in a Nov 2017 edition of a list of unmatched taxa (see https://github.com/jhpoelen/eol-globi-data/wiki/Taxonomy-Matching#list-of-resources) -
