Could it be possible that these were configured when MUTIL or BINKP were tossing/transfering mail to any of those nodes?  Its possible that some configuration stuff for echomail nodes could be overwritten because of statistics updating.  For example:

1. You start editind node 1:1/1
2. 1:1/1 connects, MIS/MUTIL read in their echonode record
3. You update a save node 1:1/1 in the editor
4. Stuff happens, statistics happens
5. MIS/MUTIL update the statistics, overwriting the saved changes you made with the record it read in during step 2

I suppose if you saw this happen with a lot of nodes maybe thats less likely to have happened though.
