I'm wondering if they are mirroring their database into OSM or something 
and spam in there database is infecting us?

The very first changeset by that user is:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/923842

Which looks like it was a technology test. After that there are what 
look like automated edits of some sort - lots of silly small changesets 
or even empty changesets all with poor descriptions like "Edit Node".

The first spam I can see is last August:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2091398
   http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2091569
