Comment (by Another Guy):

 I am seeing more than more that this sort of thing is an attempt to create
 false / fake links or duplicate content on wordpress sites.  This sort of
 error "echos" through the site, as once Google indexes one page with a
 nonsense string, that same string gets carried over as it goes through the
 entire site, creating duplicate content issues galore.

 It perhaps touches the issues of WP Core needing to have some handling for
 canonical directives so that this sort of thing is not such an issue.
