Yes, this happens to me on an Echo Dot. The responses I've noticed don't seem to be replaying previous queries but rather completely unrelated queries to the people in our house or our location. It's like a classic "crossed wires" from the old telephone operator. I guess it happens once/twice a month.

Interesting, this was an echo dot for me too. I have both a dot and regular Echo and haven't heard anything from the Echo, although it's in the other room and I might not notice at night. Maybe a Dot thing.
