This block has several transactions that send one satoshi to hundreds of different addresses.

What's up with that?

Hm, could be a miner trying to spread FUD by padding blocks with their own transactions?

As the block is ~500kB large, at the very least the miner has decided to change a few rules in their bitcoind.

They all came from the same address, and all where 1 Satoshi outputs that this address received before.

Also all where send to addresses never seen before, so where probably send by the sender to himself.

Strange indeed.
All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Looking at the funding history of that transaction, it appears to be connected to an SD payout bot.

Nope, p2pool does that too...

you can however easily check on eligius' stats and p2pool's stats if the block and/or payout addresses show up there.

I just did it's form Eligius.  The first payout address has a page at Eligius and the payout that Eligius claims is what the block has payed out to this address.

Not true, but what do the generated coins have to do with the address creating the satoshi transactions?
Have these transactions been broadcasted to the network or are they appearing in this block out of the blue? The second option might be an indication that these were generated by either the miner or somebody close to the pool/with a deal with the pool.
