My case was a little different but I think is part of this problem.

I acctually had 4 motd when logging in with ssh.

motd #1
motd #2
motd #1
motd #2

which lead me to the conclusion that there must be 2 problems.

The First problem  was the motd.tail which posted the first message
(motd #1) ... the last login message

The second part of the Problem was the double posting of motd #2 which did not occur with the standard login.
So I checked the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set the "PrintMotd" to "no" which resulted in the correct display.

Basicly there are 2 "bugs" resulting in simular problems.

Regards

Title:
  Double motd when ssh'ing into 10.04.2

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I ssh into my 10.04.2 servers I get two motd print outs.  The
  first one appears to be current-ish, but the second one is way out of
  date.  The first motd contains this:

    System information as of Fri May 20 01:36:13 EDT 2011

  while the one just following says this:

    System information as of Mon Apr 18 17:31:22 EDT 2011

  (Note though that the time stamp lies.  Current time is 17:40 EDT on
  May 19, and the first time stamp doesn't correspond to UTC, so I don't
  really know what time it thinks it is.  Ah, ntp must not be running as
  the time stamp corresponds to what `date` tells me.)

  I don't remember when the double motds started showing up.  This does
  occur on both 10.04.2 servers I have, and I have confirmation through
  the DC LoCo that others are seeing this as well.

  Note that you can log onto the console without ssh and see the same
  double motd.
