Sounds like a database bug to me.

I suppose that replicating might simply replicate the original 
problem, but worse - I imagine the master server starting to push the 
data, cycling through it infinitely... I guess that on the slave 
server you'll end up with an infinitely growing database. Well, I 
recall that you've got lots of disk space in your organization ;-)
