Wikipedia links to this written answer from the European parliament dating to 2008.
It suggests that people are marking products with an inaccurate version of the logo and that some of those markings are just plainly not true.
They said they were unaware of there being an official "China Export" mark which looked similar so it's possibly something destined for snopes.
I'm sure loads of kit gets the stamp when it's never been approved though.
