well, not exactly everywhere, but...
came home from a dogwalk yesterday and there was about half a bucket of 
clean water spread across the bathroom floor from the toilet bowl. The floor 
mat was soaked, and I cleaned up the rest with an old towel. Then I began 
looking for the source of the 'leak'. But no leaks on any couplings, tap 
fittings, rad valves, close-coupled joints, wastes, overflows... nada. And 
the room is bone dry today. So where did the water come from?
Any thoughts?

This happened to my Mum.  I went across and did some investigating.  The 
problem was soon found to be in the cistern.  On the infill pipe there is a 
part on the top that directs the water downwards to the cistern bottom. 
This had 'blown off' presumably due to an airlock that was forced out on 
flushing.  Instead of the water going downwards, it was hitting the 
underside of the cistern lid and going down the back of the cistern and onto 
the floor.  I found the part in the bottom of the cistern, reattached it and 
to make sure it didn't happen again I secured it with a couple of cable 
ties.  Problem solved.  This may not be your problem but it's worth a look.

Yes, definitely similar. After some experimenting I suspect that the siphon 
stuck open after a flush (my wife used it just as we were going out) and the 
closet keep filling/emptying for a couple of hours or so. At some point the 
plastic flexi feed pipe from the entry valve must have flicked up and 
squished water out of the top of the cistern. The water pressure is very 
high so I'll adjust it accordingly. Weird.

Luckily, I don't have neighbours...
