I hightly doubt that is happening, but I could be wrong.
While parsing the text is easy (my auction tracker does it from the log files to add the item links - the wiki one does it to pull prices related to items) having an image algorithm as you mentioned sounds like it would be nearly impossible to write since some items share the same icons when put in trade windows - although someone writing those "easy" mouse/keyboard input programs to detect where to click on the screen could probably just mouse over the icon area, run OCR over the item hover tip and approve/deny the trade based on what else is in the window, amirite?
Edit: A simple implementation to avoid having to stare at the screen however would be to turn on /log and have something (grep) parse for messages to you and when encountered send off an alert via text, IM or email - although repeating your /auc would require external macroing which is illegal in p99 tos.

Your EDIT solution is a good legal alternative. Use data for average sale prices and send e-mail or text message if parse of log detects item being sold for a certain number of standard deviations from that average.
