Comment(by bando):

 A coworker uses Pidgin, but I use straight gTalk client.  He mentioned he
 sees several messages a day of "!MyEmail at gmail.com is now known as
 !MyAlias".

 After playing around with some settings, I realized the "!MyAlias" in the
 message was the alias I had set within the gMail settings.

 I confirmed with him that my other gTalk account I use at home didn't see
 the same problem.  Sure enough, that account didn't use an alias.

 My work account gMail settings:

 I hope this info is useful.  I noticed a few users had the similar issues
 throughout various builds.
