You don't own this address do you?

The address was already in the block chain. It is known. Someone sent you 0.001 BTC. You didn't get it as change for yourself. The address you posted, has been public since May.

Rescan your wallet, there should be over 8 BTC stored on it.
Did you ever backup your wallet and restore it? Bitcoin QT pregenerates a bunch of addresses that you never see. If you restored your wallet, you may not have scanned the whole block chain. You might have 8 more coins that you don't know about. Start bitcoin qt up with the -rescan flag.
There are over 20 BTC in my wallet, and the 8 BTC are counted in (I believe, but will try to rescan just to be sure).
The weird thing is, that I did not send or receive any transactions in 10 days, so how can there be a transaction to my "hidden" address (which I obviously never gave to anyone) dating just 12 hours ago?

I created a new bitcoin address in my bitcoin-qt client (0.8.2), and suddenly there is a transaction of 0.001 BTC to this address, with 88 confirmations already (although I created this address only a few seconds ago!).
This is the transaction number: https://blockchain.info/tx/f6f2e613f6653a3b47f92fd70ff4d1ccc847811294f734a5e9f310c5b9eb063a
WTF just happened??

your random address happen to be one of the many millions of addresses already in use. you have just won the lottery.
i suggest not using that address as obviously someone else has it too..
i dont think this is the first time a address 'collision' has occured which is why v9 of bitcoin-QT will start using messaged to allow recognition of transactions, to avoid merchants using fresh addresses per transaction. thus reducing the chances of 'collisions' becoming a regular thing.
most people think that there is no chance of a collision unless you create billions of addresses. the actual fact is that you have 1 chance WITHIN those billions of addresses.. so it could be the 10th address you make or the 9,999,999,999th address or so on.
wtf are you talking about? Stop spreading FUD.

The address to which I received 0.001 BTC is https://blockchain.info/address/12k71HDvr3me6ttLr43uMgCCAhgLXNJs8T
It seems to be my "change" address (which was "hidden" inside the client from my view, but used for receiving change before??) because the first transaction to it, is at 2013-05-07 23:54:20, from my other address.
BUT! It DOES NOT explain, why, and from where, there is a 2013-07-11 08:00:19 transaction of 0.001 BTC to it. It was about 12 hours ago, and I have not received of sent any BTC for 10 days.

could this be a bug?

No it doesn't, he linked you to the transaction, not the coin address.
ahh my mistake, thanks for clarifying.
