Thanks brion,

I changed the apache php.ini to allow short open tags, and that fixed the issue.

I'm not happy with this solution, apparently that setting is strongly contra-indicated, but, hey! It works.

Every php file in  starts with the correct   open tag. No file contains a resemblance of the string being inserted, however there is a function referencing $wgExtensionCredits. My PHP is weak, but I'm guessing that this might be generating the text. I'll have to experiment.

Thanks again.
