The 169.254.0.0/16 range is reserved for link-local (aka zeroconf) 
addresses, as used by Windows and Apple's Bonjour networking. There are 
a few things that can cause this including:

Avahi (multicast DNS)
BusyBox
zeroconf

Do you have any of these installed? It certainly seems like something is 
trying to grab a default address from the link-local range, or at least 
provide routing for it.
