252730 is reported as valid on Blockchain and attributed to Slush.  Hopefully Slush will fix this one.  The 252722 is defo a weird late one, and not found on Blockchain.
252730 is posted as "Orphaned" so we get nothing

How does and Orphaned block happen?


When more than one solo miner and/or pool find a block at almost the same time each can get added to different instances of the blockchain. When another block is added to one of the instances that one is longer and becomes "The" Chain and the other block is disgarded, orphanned.
