I've noticed a similar problem on public RS/6000, in the following
scenario:

1. I am already logged into machine A.
2. I go log into machine B. (an RS/6000.)
3. I log out of machine B.
4. Another user logs into machine right after I log out.

In this case, I will frequently get the motd message and maybe one or
more messages the user sends himself by lines executed in his dotfiles;
however, the effect is not permanent, as in the case Jenifer reports on
dialups.  The user will usually get messages sent to him after he is
fully logged in, and I will stop receiving them.
