Hal explained this here. He experienced this because he shared one of his private keys with everyone, but it can happen also if you have two separate wallet files (on two machines, for example) with the same private key. Spending money in one wallet will not show up as a withdrawal in the other, because it is only scanning for inputs to the wallet, not outputs.
Withdrawls made from wallet on another machine don't appear in client #80

My walletdump branch (https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/walletdump) should contain a fix for this. But there are still a lot of edge cases that need to be tested.
