After clean install of SP3 Windows Update fails to install KB898461. How can
I get rid of this update that supposedly is unnecessary after installing SP3?

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
