I've am seeing some pretty mysterious crash reports in the Market Console lately. [...] I am wondering if anyone else is seeing strange errors like these, and whether they can be caused by devices that have really low-quality firmware, either custom, or on devices that were not verified by Google.
I've not seen your particular ones, but I certainly see odd stuff - like 6 months old versions of my free apps crashing on 1.0 firmware (seemingly G1) as well as on seemingly lab boards. Some of these apps are very much tailored for use ONLY in Sweden, but they still seem to originate from Spain, Russia, China and the like...
My best guess is that there is a fair amount of people who just randomly rip apps from the Market and use them to "monkey test" their hardware/firmware with.
Initially I was curious, I've given up to try to make sense of it. Sometimes their extreme test cases are actually somewhat useful - I've caught a few odd states (the last one was the system be unable to select an image - seems unlikely, but...)
