Are you seeing multiple tickets per second created?  The string
"%CHARSET" reminds me of malfunctioning spamware:

	$ grep %CHARSET mail/caughtspam 
	Content-Type: text/plain; charset=%CHARSET
	Content-Type: text/html; charset=%CHARSET

... so it could be that you have some spammy tickets in your RT instance.
