If it is connected to the high voltage, I suspect that it serves as a (anti) Corona Ring, to reduce the possibility of corona and arcs between the sharp points under the tube socket (such as cut off wires and socket pins) and the chassis.

That makers sense. Yes, it's connected to the HV - also the metal ring around the tube socket.
