Karl, have you tried registering the card on the website? I suspect its possible someone accidentally registered your card, but that doesn't explain the trip reported. I take it that you didn't do such a trip. It would make sense to phone Irish Rail at 1850 211 777 or use the contact form.

I don't know the exact standards involved, but strictly speaking you can't swipe two of these types of cards at the same time. Sometimes you will get away with it at the train station as the Irish Rail card will register at a greater distance than a DB one.
Dublin Bus or Luas cards or equipment should not interfere with an Irish Rail card.
And yes, presenting an IR card on a bus will result in a very upset card reader.
Eventually (probably in about a years time) you will hopefully be able to get a smartcard that works across a variety of transport services
