As you are removing the smart key you may be pressing the trunk release button on the key at the same time. Could it be?

Nope, not touching the trunk release..I tested it 15 times or better...just the ghost in the machine I suppose...I did manually lock the trunk (turned the manual key to position 3) to stop it from opening....the next day, I unlocked it, and for now the problem seems to have fixed itself. Go figure....
