Back in Dec I sent a small amount (.02 BTC) to two different addresses, a few bucks to a friend and a few to my android wallet. These were sent from my Bitcoin-QT wallets.
I was looking at these today, picking apart the wallet.dat file and noticed that when those transactions occurred, the blockchain had recorded transactions like the following:
MyAddress -> FriendsAddress (.02 BTC)
-> AnReservedAddressInMyBTCWallet (.8283 BTC)
and
MyAddress -> MyAndroidWallet (.02 BTC)
-> AnotherReservedAddressInMyBTCWallet (2.43 BTC)
What is up with this?
It is the change.

It could be due to poor tx propagation, tx fee to low , presence of dust outputs, non-standard tx, etc.
We can take a look at it if you give us the tx id.
