why some bgp implementations adds a null route for advertised prefixes

ex

router bgp 2
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 128.16.16.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 network 130.130.0.0
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 1 * neighbor 10.10.10.1 advertise-map
ADVERTISE non-exist-map NON-EXIST***neighbor 10.10.20.3 remote-as 3
!
ip route 130.130.0.0 255.255.0.0 *Null0*

is has something to do with NAT ?
