I had a similar problem some years ago.  It turned out to be the
fault of the text editor I was using.  The code for the 'Enter' key
was 3, and using Enter to move to the current location caused a character
with code 3 to be placed there.  That character was invisible in the
text editor, but is \Gamma in the cmr fonts.  So I would get a mysterious
\Gamma in my TeX output from time to time.
