Yeah, your hosting company could have (intentionally or unintentionally) served up a 301 redirect for your domain/URL, which googlebot picked up on and used for its cache. You should check with them, as I can't come up with any other scenario where this would have happened (except a bug in googlebot -- which, good luck trying to report/troubleshoot that!). :)
