Slider bar name changes when the phone times out

WHen my iphone4 times out the slider bar usually say slide to unlock or open. For the past 3-4 days it has said jakeallan3. It doesn't do it everytime but quit often.

I recently had a similar problem with my 3GS (4.2.1) when I travelled to another capital city (but same country) last weekend. I have had the phone for nearly 18 months and not experienced this problem before. Also, there was another iPhone traveling with me (3G 4.2.1) which did not experience this problem. Both phones are connected through the same telco. The only difference between the phones we were travelling with are the model and the Profile on my phone being created using the iPhone Configuration Utility.
The symptoms were:
a. soon after beginning using data in the new city, the phone began to feel quite hot.
b. tried to prolong use by switching wifi, bluetooth off.
c. phone drained quickly turning itself off. After recharging fully the phone again drained quickly. From this point ran through this cycle of events a few times
d. noticed that data usage had risen dramatically (by some gigabytes). However later confirmed that this was not reflected on my billing data at my telco. (luckily - the additional usage would have cost around $4,000,000 on my plan - no exaggeration)
e. turned my phone to flight mode to prevent inadvertent data usage - phone still ran from full to empty in 4.5 hours and remained warm.
On returning to my home town battery life returned to normal and my phone remains cool.
I would like to understand what was going on as this makes the phone unusable if travelling. Given that this has occurred with johnki's two 3GSs on several occasions and almost the same with me i am concerned that my phone will be useless to me outside of my home town.
