Yeah, I was suspected that someone might've been doing something dodgy that was resulting in it happening. But the only vote that happened when I had it happen to me was a vote to increase the campaign difficulty and I was the only player still on the server just before it finished that stage. It seems to be a fairly rare thing, but given the number of servers we're running (256) and the number of games that occur on them obviously, its happening enough that a few people have had it happen to them now.
