If nothing references that blob then it will go away eventually. The last section of git-filter-branch's manpage (checklist for shrinking a repo) details the steps you can take to get rid of it now. (You should be already in the situation after applying filter-branch and removing refs/original/*.) If the blob still persists then it is referenced.
