This looks like a host notification, not a service notification. This  
does not match the 'notify-service-by-email' definition you posted,  
nor does it appear to be the result of a service alert. Are you sure  
you're comparing apples to apples? Does your host's check_command make  
sense?

I can't see how this would be possible. Please find and post the  
relevant ALERT and NOTIFICATION entries in nagios.log. Please also  
post the relevant host, service and contact definitions in their  
entirety (from objects.cache) and the jabber notification command.

I don't see how. Seems like a meatspace issue so far. ;)
