Hi, I already had the same issue, but it was due to a very close second 
point (invisible unless you zoom alot). In a general manner, I noticed 
that ardour doesn't like the "too-much close-togethe"r automation 
points, and some mega clicks appear.
I suggest you to delete (or move) the point that causes the click, and 
see if there is not another point behind :)
cheerz
