Have you ever had 1 ie browser window open and another minimized, if surfer "open a link in a new window" to your page from the maximized ie window it will recycle and open the new page in your minimised browser. So whatever page the minimized browser was on will show up as the referrer.

I think this is what causes the odd referring pages.
