What's this? Is this something that happens that I've not heard about?

Quite a common issue on our cars, usually caused by jump starting the car. Happened on my dad's once.

I encountered this several years back, the computers still retain the information but due to an electronic spike the odomoter reverts to all the 9's. It was never a problem during the MOT's as they just recorded what they saw.
