No, you weren’t it (alone).
Today while waiting for debbugs to accept a newly submitted report
so I could reference it in the d/changelog where I workarounded it,
I decided to run a little “sudo tcpdump -X port 5353 or port 35388”.
Turns out that it was this:
15:10:06.645999 IP pjakob-mb.lan.tarent.de.mdns > 224.0.0.251.mdns: 0 [2a] PTR
(QM)? _googlecast._tcp.local. (56)

This perfectly matches the followig syslog entry:
Jul 24 15:10:06 tglase-nb avahi-daemon[1553]: server.c: Packet too short or
invalid while reading known answer record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?)
The timestamp is ok, the two packets received prior to and after it
were distant enough (15:09:59.474377 and 15:10:12.173064, respectively).
Paweł, what the hell is “googlecast”, and why are you running it in
our network?
Please report the bug there that they multicast invalid packets.
@avahi maintainers: I think this may not be a bug in your package.
You may wish to leave this report open so that others know what to
look for when they encounter these messages (krfb and googlecast)
until those issues are fixed.
You may wish to add a filter ignoring packets from “googlecast”,
to reduce the overall noise. Up to you.
Thanks,
