Sorry about not replying, I have been on vacation. It seems the issue
has an explanation already (caching) but here's my answer for completeness:

Previously I was running version 0.2.6.10 from what was then the latest
Debian wheezy tor-experimental package.
As I wrote above I upgraded to the (at the time) latest wheezy
tor-experimental, 0.2.7.4-rc. During my vacation the relay have not
restarted, 22 days uptime at the moment, so I assume the IP address has
not fluctuated.

These messages only happened rarely, weeks apart. I have only seen
Faravahar giving  the wrong IP, not any other Auth server.
