Hm I've looked up a few other cities (Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Lyon, Marseille, Rotterdam, Zurich, Manchester, Birmingham, Salzburg, Aarhus) and they do not have an admin_level tag on the place=* node. At the same time, I found some other cities that do: Paris [1], Kopenhagen [2], Barcelona [3], Madrid [4], Brussels [5], Amsterdam [6], Bern [7], Vienna [8], Rome [9], Milan [10]:

Maybe it's something in use for backward compatibility, such as an with and old renderer that uses it instead of the capital tag to render a label at lower zoom levels.
