Is anyone else having this problem where texts come through as blue arrows?

Its totally random, and has only been happening since I installed the 5.1 carrier. Ive tried turning MMS off, restarting my phone, resetting network settings, and sometimes it still happens. The only weird thing is that if i go to the message view of all my messages, I can see only the first 2 lines of what was supposed to come through.

Usually its when my phone thinks theres a picture, and it says "Attachment: 1 image" and instead of a pic, its just the arrow (even when no pic was sent.)

Any ideas? Is anyone else having this problem? (aside from restoring -- I plan to upgrade to 3.1 JB soon if I feel its safe enough.)

EDIT: Another thing.

Is anyone else getting texts they sent to other people from other numbers? For example:

In order to test MMS, i would text friend 1 saying "send me a pic of anything." It obviously goes through. Sometime later I would receive that same message from a different contact (facebook, twitter, friend 2, etc.) Whats going on with that? It happens with pics too.
