(Just added more reply in my last post as an edit.)

Anyway, strange indeed. I did reboot. I turned on FastSMS once by itself to check the settings right after reboot, if that helps? I have a few python status menu applets running in the background.. Nothing that SHOULD change our results, but I may well have something wrong going on on my device.

I say we wait and see what other reports come in. Mine might be the odd-N900-out.
