iPhone showing a 2nd operator logo on home screen

My iPhone has been acting strangely lately and here is yet another example; I noticed my network operator (O2) which is written in the top left of the iPhone screen as O2-UK also appeared underneath the clock on the home screen as O2.

At first I thought I was going crazy and that it must have always been there, but then I thought the icons looked like they’d been squashed together a little, I compared it with another iPhone 3G which didn’t have it and I also put the question out on Twitter to see if anybody else had seen this.

A few on Twitter [1|2]said it happened to them too for no apparent reason, it’s not like I was roaming onto another network whilst abroad, i’ve not even hijacked/cracked my iPhone it’s 100% stock. The folks on Twitter suggested it will clear itself after a reboot of the iPhone but I wanted to see if it would clear itself and within a few hours that’s exactly what it did.

I’m at a complete loss as to what caused this to appear but if you no anything about it please leave a comment below.

This is what it looks like normally:
