I agree that it was most likely a coincidence, other than server access any intelligence agency would have no reason to monitor me.
Even if you were near the president and said on the phone or over a radio "Shoot the president's head" it could be completely justified depending on context (if you were a production crew talking to a camera operator for instance). It would be nearly impossible to sort out the false positives and even if you could it wouldn't prevent much because of code-words that could be used.
Then again, we all know that bugs happen, there might have been a new system in place. It would be conceivable that the phone/tower/something received a bad command when the "recording" started and it caused the call to drop.
I say "hacked" and "stolen" on the phone all the time, but those would likely be on the list of "calls to record".
