Of course it's not new -- I've seen it happen before my eyes. (I don't recall on which article, but I remember being unhappy about it.)

Maybe it would be a good idea to semi-protect articles that have been "doctored". That way, the articles can still be updated etc. with greatly reduced chances of doctoring. We will, of course, end up playing whack-a-mole with trying to block any accounts they do create... although autoblocking helps. Of course, someone else probably thought of this already...
