Keywording & Picnik

I just ran a bunch of photos through picnik. And the keywording is messed up.
Example: original photo has the following keywords - canada; churchill; churchill trip; manitoba; ptarmigan; willow ptarmigan.
photo processed and saved via picnik has the following keywords (underlined ones are the extras) - Turkey; canada; churchill; churchill trip; manitoba; ptarmigan; willow ptarmigan; nov; 016; 7779
I am aware of the weird keywording that happens when I use the simple uploader (i.e. taking the name of the file and breaking it up into keywords) - hence I use the lightroom plugin to upload photos instead. But what's with the adding of another keyword, which is nowhere in the metadata of the originally uploaded file?

Has the keyword fix noted above gone out?
If so, I am still seeing the keyword "Turkey" being added to all of the photos I have been adding using the Lightroom Plug-in. When I originally reported the problem, export directly out of Lightroom seemed to be OK with no extra words added. That said, it is difficult to tell without taking the time to go to the keywords & captions tool, since it seems to take a while for the keywords to display under the photo when it is uploaded.
(I have verified that none of the photos that showed keyword "Turkey" in SmugMug have the keyword associated with them in Lightroom.)
Anyone ... as of today, the keyword "Turkey" is still being added to my Lightroom exports even though I can find no indication of the keyword associated with my photos in LR. Just trying to understand if the fix mentioned above has been put out ... if it has, only part of the problem seems to be fixed.
Do you images have "Turkey" in the filename? Smugmug likes to try to pick words out of the filename and make them into keywords.

No - Turkey is not part of the name of the file either ...

of the original raw image in my LR library. You'll note ... no Turkey in the keywords. The image I sent you is the jpeg I exported using the LR plug in.
This photo is a jpeg I created from a screenshot; did not run it through LR to export and uploaded using the simple uploader ... hence no extraneous Turkey keyword in the gallery (http://eenusa.smugmug.com/gallery/4159644_gvFey/1/452230975_M78d5).
By the way the "extra keywords to send with export" box in the LR plugin does not have any keywords in it either, so that is not the source. And the earlier galleries/photos in this series does not have the keyword edition ... I wonder if this is a bug introduced when I upgraded my LR plug in. I am baffled!
Thanks for posting the photo of your samoyed ... remarkable resemblance! Your samoyed is adorable ... we had a samoyed and an American Eskimo when we lived in SLC ... had to give them to friends when we moved to the DC area ... still miss them.

Plan to do that next.
As an update, the problem lies with what seems to be a new keywording feature in LR2 ... not the plug in ... off to read more about how to fix the problem on the LR forums.
