It also may be the case that the version in unstable is the same as the version in testing, in which case apt-get will get the package from either testing or unstable, since it's the same. Easy enough to check both theories. Do an 'apt-cache policy <package>' for the packages that are being pulled from unstable, and check the versions in either distribution.
