Help Wrong sender on text messages

I received a couple of text messages from Vodafone today, and the Messages app showed the sender as one of my personal contacts! It happened to be the last contact that I edited in the People app, and seems like a bug. Has anyone else seen this?

BTW, this is on an unlocked Desire bought from mobiles.co.uk.
 
I have the same issue on my Desire on contract from Orange. Whenever I get a message from Orange, it has a picture from one of my contacts! It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect or anything, just annoying. Sorry I can't offer a solution, just sharing your pain, I guess!
 
I too have this problem on my new Desire
Yes, a Facebook contact has "just ask me" in his mobile entry
So I disconnected from Facebook, and the messages from Orange then changed to a contact in my gmail list.
I don't know how it will then handle a new message.
the research continues...
