Reproduced it, got a serverside recording. As you guys suspected, it happens when a player times out (or quits) with a login request pending and another player takes his place, some data structures are not properly cleared . A fix has been committed to bzr, it's a server error only, so a serverside update should suffice. Side effects are possible. Daring server admins are encouraged to update from bzr so we see if the fix is safe for merging into 0.2.8.3.2.
