Bug: Triplicated Game in Pool, or Triplicated Rating Change

Today, in the 5+0 pool, my friend Rumpelteazer was paired against Eggplant. This occured at 6:07 PM. Rumpelteazer was white and lost. After the game, we noticed that suddenly, the last three games of Rumpelteazer as shown in the pool were losses with white against Eggplant, and all three of these caused rating changes for both players. The three games are:

If you check the profile of Rumpelteazer, you will see that all three of these games started at 6:07 PM with identical ratings for the players and identical colour distribution. However, White lost by not making a move in two of these games.

Apparently, through some bug and/or connection issue, the server created three games between these players instead of one. Shortly after this occurence I noticed another pair of players with the same pattern of games in the pool (unfortunately I don't remember their nicknames), again with two white losses due do not moving and one real game.
