Check the times of the blocks:

Doesn't look like it was immediately after a new block...

So, what do you think happened?

Someone configured their coin daemon that feeds their p2pool instance to do so.

@-ck  That is a problem. I am not sure how you could enforce this at the node to node level based on how the p2pool software and the coin daemon interact.

P2pool is written in a language that I can only describe as trash.
Not interested in going near it at all.

@kano  Speaking of languages, why on earth is Bitcoin written in C++? I thought C would have been the first and better choice.
