A possible solution that comes to mind is to set the master_log_position to the next one:

    change master to master_log_position = <next_pos>;
    start slave;

If that doesn't work, you may try to parse the binlog (if it's able to parse it ...):

    mysqlbinlog filename > script.sql

Edit the script and remove the statement. Run the modified script
manually on the slave and set the master_logfile to the next binlog:

    change master to master_log_file ...;
    start slave;

You may also check, just in case, if both master and slave use the same *max_allowed_packet*.
