Thanks. I was wondering who "Murphy" might be, and Daniel Murphy (aka raccoon) was the only person who came to mind.
My sense is that the automatic doubling rule predates his activity on usenet, so it's unlikely that it is named after him. Your hypotheses about the confusion might be correct. Who knows?
I've removed the "Murphy Rule" from the Wikipedia article.
