I hire for a small startup, so maybe this isn't how it works at the big companies, but I certainly wouldn't dock points for this. I think it shows initiative, and at worst I wouldn't care one way or the other. The only way I could imagine it being a red flag is that sometimes people put things on their resumes that aren't real accomplishments (like things they did in high school, or the fact that they know how to use MS Word) and it makes me wonder if there are so few worthwhile things for them to talk about that they use filler like that. But even then I pretty much just ignore it.
