Are the apps you downloaded open source? If so take a look at the source code, and do an MD5 compare from the APK on your phone against the one generated by the upstream source, that should give you an idea if you have a legitimate version of the app downloaded from the market.
If they are closed, perhaps you could run them individually in the emulator, and see if you can replicate the suspicious activity... The effort put in will put your mind at rest, and perhaps confirm whether your hunch was correct. Not sure what else to suggest at this point, I haven't heard of this issue from anyone else so far.
