Just an update to my situation, which has seen 4000-5000 new 404s being added every week. Some are the older links as I described, but most of the new ones seems to be of the format http://example.com/1345876986000, with a random number at the end (but always starting with 1345).

It looks like a unix timestamp with a few extra zeroes.

Apparently this is known issue, possibly to do with the Disqus plug-in (seems to be the common factor). Google's JohnMu has acknowledged that something isn't quiet right most likely with their Javascript crawler, but as long as these URLs return the proper 404 response, then it's "not something that would affect your site's indexing or ranking".
