Mike,

I assume those elsets are not result of computer's mistake. It seems
that SpaceCom guys linked the biggest part of fragmented (exploded?)
87068B rocket body to old international/catalog designations. It's
usual procedure when fragmentation occurs, but sometimes they changes
their first opinion reassigning ID/catalog numbers to another object
Here is TLEs for 7 objects assosiated with that event of possible explosion
(fragmentation due to collision?). I found only two objects - 12724 and
22509, which made close approaches to 87068B/18313 late on Feb 16.
But TLEs for those objects during following days looks stable and 
have not significant changes.
