System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon R7 450 ATI Technologies Inc. 4.5.13521 Core Profile Context 24.20.11020.3002

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.81 (sub 5), branch: master, commit date: 2019-09-03 12:35, hash: 51d8facbc3
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
I tried appending a complex node tree into my new build to play with, and noticed that along with the group node, I got the original object from the file as well - the whole mesh object came into my 3d view. I'm used to it only bringing in the material or node tree.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create a node group in a single file, make it fake user and save.
Open new file, Append and navigate to the previous file - search for the node tree and append.
If the node tree is still attached to an object, I am getting the mesh object in view.
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

hi @CraigJones could you check the node tree for Texture Coordinate

If there's an Object listed in the Object field, I found that it seems to get stored with the node data somehow and the object can seem to tag along with appends. Possibly this is the cause. It seems to be an expected although unusual behavior I think.

I also cannot reproduce (other than the situation @BrendonMurphy described).
If it is not the object sticking in the Texture Coordinate Node [which is not a bug], please post the .blend containing the NodeTree in question...

Yes, this is the case - the object that owns the node tree is also referenced as the object there in the texture coordinate.

This is perfectly sane and expected behavior, since the nodetree uses/depends on the object, that one is also linked/appended. Thanks for the report, but no bug here.
