Where is this coming from?

I noticed that a number- every one I've checked- of my inactive blocks show this:

when I click on Activate in my admin area. Of course I don't want that showing on my site so they remain inactive. I first noticed it a few days ago- the Security Tracker RSS feed warned about the strip tags() thingie- and it showed in a few blocks I had active. The line seems to be present in all of my inactive blocks both standard and addon, but how could an RSS feed leak into unrelated blocks? The block-Sentinel(tm) btw has nothing to do with Sentinel(tm), it is only an image block I was playing with. This is a strange issue, and annoying since I can't activate the affected blocks. What I've done to remedy it is to upload chatserv's patched blocks and overwrite the affected ones, but some blocks I'll have to re-download...
