My wallet says we're on block 22490, but the pools seem to say block 22483. What the fuck is going on?

I also found a block by myself not too long ago. I swear, if I lose out on that block for whatever reason..

EDIT: Make that block 22505. The pools and a few people on IRC are still stuck on 22483 (it's been around 1.5 hours since they found a block last). Redownloading the blockchain changes nothing, I'm still on 22505 after that. What baffles me is that my node list is literally just the trusted pool list that we started using after this fork, yet those pools are lagging behind.

Geekhash and catstat.info are on the same chain as me, and the pools are STILL stuck on 22483, so I'm guessing the pools died a while back. We since figured out that a fork seems to have occurred at block 22438 or so (coincidentally the first block I found solo), back during a low-difficulty period. I think Team Catcoin may be responsible for it, though I'm no expert. Our own chain is going smoothly though.

EDIT2: So around 2.5 hours later, Team Catcoin and the other pools have finally hit 22484. Our chain is now on 22530.

EDIT3: Team Catcoin has found EVERY block from at least 22458, possibly earlier, with the exception of 22480, 22481 and 22482 (as of this post that chain is now on 22488). Coinium found 22480 and 22481, and I'm not sure who got 22482. Even now Team Catcoin is the only pool actually finding blocks on that chain. That doesn't sound right at all.
