Looking at this I also saw that for a short time some prefixes belonging to AS37451 were announced by AS2454388738 (see 
[0] and [1]).
Anybody have a smart idea which command could have caused this?

If your asn is 327933, then:

add chain=foo prefix=192.0.2.0/24 action=accept set-bgp-prepend=2

... will produce: "327933 327933", and:

add chain=foo prefix=192.0.2.0/24 action=accept set-bgp-prepend-path=2

... will produce: "327933 2".

Routeros does command completion on the CLI, so this is finger-slip territory, and the two commands are visually 
similarly enough to each other that it would be easy not to notice.
