Having reviewed the scripts for all of the services on a server that runs many, I'm very confident that the reason you see that happen is that you are using "chkconfig --del <service>" rather than "chkconfig <service> off" to disable services.
I suspected that, thanks for confirmation. When I started seeing this happen back with 5.1 and 5.2 I stopped removing the services and just set them "off". I haven't done a scrutenizing effort to check if that really fixed the problem, but later it seemed to occur less often that unwanted services wanted to run.
