Comment:

 This is the resource, it is a sort of value that allows an XMPP account
 (such as Google) to be signed in at several locations simultaniously.
 When using a Google account they generate one automatically, or adds a
 random number to the resource name if you provide it in the account info,
 other XMPP services generally allows you to set it freely.
 This is thus not a bug, and if you set a "local alias" it will be shown
 instead of your gmail.com ID (including this string).
