I can duplicate this problem.

Here's a sample org file:

,----
| MY PROJECTS  -*- mode: org; fill-column: 78 -*-
| 
| #+STARTUP: overview
| #+STARTUP: lognotestate
| #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) APPT(a) | DONE(d) DEFERRED(p) CANCELLED(c)
| #+TAGS: { SCHOOL(s) WORK(w) } CALL(c) ERRAND(e)
| * one
| ** TODO one-one
|    SCHEDULED: <2007-09-06 Thu>
| ** TODO one-two
|    SCHEDULED: <2007-09-06 Thu>
| ** TODO one-three
|    SCHEDULED: <2007-09-06 Thu>
| * two
| ** TODO two-one
|    SCHEDULED: <2007-09-06 Thu>
| ** TODO two-two
|    SCHEDULED: <2007-09-06 Thu>
| * WAITING three
|   - State "WAITING"    [2007-09-06 Thu 14:11] \\
|     five six
|   - State "STARTED"    [2007-09-06 Thu 14:11] \\
|     three-four
|   - State "STARTED"    [2007-09-06 Thu 14:11] \\
|     one two
`----

All of the items are scheduled for today so they end up on the agenda.
Go to the agenda and change the TODO state of one task, enter note, and
C-C C-c

Then repeat on another task.  In each case it keeps adding stuff to the
first task for me

I added the STARTED and WAITING TODO states to 3 different tasks but
they were all logged on the same task.

The workaround for me is to ALWAYS use TAB in the agenda after changing
task state to fix the current position of the pointer in the org file.
