Yes, they acknowledged it as an issue in one of the weekly chats.
I noticed something interesting about this problem. I knew for a while now that the left button of the mouse on my main computer, the one that gets clicked hundreds of times a day, was wearing out and getting "sputtery," so that one sloppy press was sending off double clicks instead (and maybe even a burst of three or more). If I wasn't careful, I'd see the double-click response instead of the single-click response for whatever I was doing (such as highlighting an entire word by mistake instead of just a letter or two when editing).
I had the same post-flooding errors that other were reporting, and I was getting them big-time. I had problems getting anything else done either, so finally I replaced the mouse. That fixed all the other headaches, and I noticed that my post-flooding issues had gone away, too.
So what I'm getting at is that maybe the post-flooding error is caused by the system seeing two clicks too close together, and considering that to be an error or posting violation that it used to ignore, but no longer does. Instead of letting a second, unexpected click go to the bit bucket when posting, it now considers the second click to be a duplicate posting attempt, and goes into a tizzy about it. That could also include a secondary post attempt following the auto-correction of an HTML error (real or perceived) in the first attempt.
