Has anyone seen a 6940 do this before?

Any idea what this indicates? This is not loading into the normal MiNet firmware (if it is Minet..)
We swapped the user's phone with a known-good one because we assumed the other was loading incorrect firmware versions or failing to load 100%. This is now happening on the new phone, too.
Are there ways to restore the firmware remotely? According the admin guide "restore defaults" only resets phone settings, not firmware.
