You're right, I wouldn't have looked at that and said immediately "sneezewort". But there isn't anything totally wrong for sneezewort apart from the small size. And there aren't any obvious alternatives.
There is a possibility that it's a seedling of a garden variety growing in adverse circumstances. Following that thought, I've done a google image search and more or less convinced myself that it is indeed sneezewort.
