a lot of the dialog scripts get crosstalk like that. i think it has to do with two people doing a quest script at the same time... i'll bet anything that when you got that message someone was in the process of doing the boar quest.
sometimes you get crosstalk like that getting on the ferry, etc.
Nah, imo its just lag. It almost never happens when the server is going smoothly. Although, why not, the probabilities aren't that low that you're right.
And it doesn't have to be quest-talk; any talk with do. I remember especially the ferrymen talking about something entirely else.
