I posted the following to the Skype Community forums under the Android section.
The format of the post is as Skype community suggests here:

I am cross-posting it here for some additional exposure and hopefully some informed commentary from the androidforums community.

Device Manufacturer:

Device Name:
Galaxy S3
Device Model:
SGH-T999L

Thu Mar 13 12:11:15 KST 2014
Build Number:
JSS15JT999LUVUBNC1
Notes:
No SIM card installed (have not switched my phone number to BrightSpot yet)
hence, Phone not activated

I have iBolt Dock & Drive app installed, but it no longer is set to be the dock mode application.

Problem Description
Auto Answer in the Skype settings screen is UNCHECKED.
Device will auto answer without ringing.
I just suddenly hear the other end talking and they can hear me
Cannot easily reproduce it, there is no periodic happenstance.
But I would say that it happens at least once in 10 received calls.
The conditions I noticed when it last answered:
Device lock screen is set to Swipe only.
The device was connected to a 12v charger plug --> usb cable in the car.
The car was off; the charger was not providing power.
The charger cable does not have a resistor so it is not a "dock mode" cable, Phone was not in Dock Mode.
Device was connected only to WiFi and was running on batteries
I was also signed into skype on my home laptop at the time.
The device was connected (via WiFi) to the same home LAN that my laptop was.
I had rejected the incoming call on the laptop.
Went out to the car to find that my father was talking over the device.
There was no video coming from the far end, though he always tries to make video calls
I did not notice whether my end was sending video to the far end, but I don't think so.
Conditions from some previous instances:
Instance 1: Phone was not connected to a cable, was sitting face up on a nightstand
Instance 2: Phone was in a leather hip holster
In all cases, the phone screen was locked.
PLEASE HELP!
This is really scary and invades my privacy.
I have not done further testing from other skype accouts to try to reproduce it yet.
