I'm pretty much with you.

I think #2 is probably the most likely.

I could fake #3 pretty credibly, maybe undetectably with Photoshop, and so could many others, but why the heck would someone go to all that effort... for what benefit, exactly?

_#4, I can rule out, because no random glitch would produce that, for probability reasons that both you and I touched on.

_#1 is certainly possible, though.

Certainly, there are multiple explanations, but I just didn't like to see the several false explanations that popped up here, either slandered the OP without basis, or insulting our intelligence.
