Has anyone else experienced this?

I've seen this several times now.  I'm about to place a sell order and I get an error saying that I'm way below the lowest asking price.  Or the opposite happens, and I'm about submit a buy order but I'm told its way above the lowest asking price.

Yet, these erroneous orders don't make any sense.  In some cases they're 10-20% above/below the best price!  Another thing that's curious is the order size is usually quite small. 

I guess it could be lag at cryptsy or just a random event.  Or perhaps this is trader tactic to move the needle in their favor?  Maybe its a confused or lagged bot?
