I've always wondered about this; I sometimes get it (but don't know how to reproduce it) when trying to navigate. What does it mean?

It's a motion command that means from the beginning of the selected area to the end. It's really two different commands ("'<" and "'>") and there is a good description of them in the vim help (":help '<" will bring you there).
