Hi Jim,
yes, I have MultiBit set to German.
I looked things up more in detail:
The multibit.properties showed sendFee=1.
After changing in MultiBit to '0,001' BTC MultiBit used the correct fee during sending.
After quitting MultiBit and restarting it, it showed the correct fee on the screen: '0,001' BTC.
The multibit.properties showed sendFee=0.001.
So everything is like expected.
Maybe it was just a historic setting that now turned up when I seriously spent my first coins.
I will have a look at it when I update the next time to a newer MultiBit version.
On another note: I investigated the two rapid succession of 'send' transactions more in detail and found that the second transaction was actually done by spending the change from the first transaction. This was done within seconds after the first transaction.
So your boomerang rule worked out fine.
