i'm now paranoid about the whole system. the word cowboys comes to mind.
This might be a waste of time as I'm not too clever...but could you test by turning off that dodgy rad? If others are chained off only one flow (return) pipe further down the line they'd stay cold I think. Once you've done that test you could put the cowboy radiator back on and try turn off others closer to the boiler (if you know roughly which way it goes) and see if they prevent your yeehaw rad turning on (or others).

I bet they just got to the end of the day and saw a shortcut so it'll only be that one
