There is an update showing up in http://rstat.us/users/Carols10cents that I did not make (http://rstat.us/updates/4f1ada8adecb350001000a77). It appears to have come from reality@identi.ca: it's in their feed here: https://identi.ca/api/statuses/user_timeline/55937.atom?max_id=89098925 and this is the conversation view of the original status: https://identi.ca/conversation/88893235#notice-89057548.atom

I know @markzalar has seen this before too but I thought at the time that it had something to do with the messed up usernames containing dots. This seems to not be the case.

I'm trying to trace how this could have happened but I really don't know what I'm looking for. I suspect it's some sort of collision with IDs across networks or something, but I don't see any IDs in common between my Author, reality's rstat.us Author, reality's identi.ca info, our Feed ids, etc.

I have no idea how to go about trying to reproduce this.

I have no idea if this is an rstat.us bug, an ostatus gem bug, an identi.ca bug, a status.net bug, a hub bug, a salmon bug, etc etc etc.

@wilkie or @steveklabnik, do you have any ideas on where to look or what to look for?
