Maybe is an "IP conflict / IP duplication", and the VoIP packets go to both IP addresses. IP duplication can be caused by some type of "monitoring/spy" at their (or your) computer, and a dynamic IP address. it's not usual.

It sounds more like an issue at the POTS side of things.

  It cannot be a "Plain Old Telephone Service" (or analog) issue, because it is working with "VoIP"-- and it's digital since the audio enter at the computer.

Just because is entering digitally on your computer doesn't mean that it is completely digital. To make calls to a land line you still need a PBX in between to make the bridge between analog and digital sides

    It's entirely possible that the "crosstalk" happened way before the calls every made it into Skype's domain. Skype will have a PBX somewhere that bridges the gap between Skypes IP protocol and the outside world of POTS and cellular calls.

  sounds like user error ... in the form of interrupting local sound as sound pushed through a speaker

Still very strange. Shouldn't the calls be encrypted? If the other call was started before, and the OP's client wasn't there for the handshake, how could it decrypt the call content?

  Still you encrypt the calls (the comunication line is encrypted) The spy /monitoring software can be running at your computer --thing that is usual-- (so before encrypting...) They don't need to broke any encryption ("NSA style"), only a "bug on windows"...
