Called-it.
I guess I haven't been doing too much crack after-all.

It turned out that our motd-server was hacked - someone already remove
the javascript from the motd-html but the clients cached it somehow and
redisplayed it every time from cache and didnt reload the new html.

Do you also host the URL where the MOTD is pointed-to?
Since the MOTD is basically just a wrapper for a web-browser, its just 
interpreting the content it gets back from that URL.
It would be something intentionally in that content (or, cough... and exploited 
web-site, cough).
I thought Valve disabled Java in the MOTD's a while back to avoid some of that 
stuff.
Not sure if that included CS 1.6 or maybe was just TF2.
Or, maybe they only disabled Java in the Steam Web Browser (the "Overlay" 
browser) and not in the MOTD browser.
Or, maybe I am just smoking crack and thinking of something completely 
different.
