I've seen this too actually, but have had a hard time narrowing it down.
I did something similar to Eli's suggestion a bit ago and did get a
couple of data points, however:
* First, I have 'turn-on-auto-fill-mode' set on 'text-mode-hook'.
* It only seems to happen for me when a text-mode file was changed
outside of Emacs, and then I press "r" (refresh) at the Emacs
supersession prompt. This results in the mode being restarted (I think),
which in turn calls 'turn-on-auto-fill-mode'. Occasionally, something
gets messed up, and that function ends up setting the *default* value
for 'auto-fill-function'.
* I usually notice this on files I'm editing over Tramp, but that might
not be relevant since I use Tramp very heavily, and maybe I'm just
getting "lucky".
I'm not sure, but perhaps there's a bug in 'set_internal'? There's some
code in the 'SYMBOL_LOCALIZED' block of the switch statement in there
that seems like it could relate to this, but I haven't had time to dig
much into this, so that could be a red herring...

Something like "(setq-default auto-fill-function nil)" should fix your
Emacs session.
