Nodes being autotagged with taxonomy term

Not sure what's happening here.
Upon content creation, whether core content (page) or cck content, a taxonomy term 2 (special) is being added.
However the content type has not yet been "registered" with the taxonomy module.

After registered the content type and attempting to change the tag to something meaningful I get the following errors:

I go to edit mode then preview mode and get the following errors:

* warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in /home/{username}/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1011.
* warning: Illegal offset type in /home/{username}/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1012.
* warning: Illegal offset type in /home/{username}/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1015.
* warning: Illegal offset type in /home/{username}/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 591.

After saving the errors disappear.

I thought the admininstration might be interfering, so it shut off. No difference.
I thought the content taxonomy module might be interfering, so i shut it off. No difference.

My website is on the web and on my laptop. One major difference is the CCK version. On the web it is: Content Profile 6.x-1.x-dev (2009-Aug-05).

I will post this at the CCK project as well and will role back to previous version of CCK.
