I've seen that dot too, & here's just another guess...
Couple tire-mounting people have told me that they can minimize the weights needed, by un-seating the bead & spinning the tire around to a different position on the rim.
So maybe that colored dot is simply an easy mark to use when moving it around. When the bead-breaker machine spins the tire around then again when it's reseated, it's probably easy to lose track of where the tire was vs where you want it to be.
