I think Queenbeesteff had it right. The smoke monster set off the smoke detector. It's a visual gag and a clue. Many people here have surmised that the smoke monster can take any form it wants, and that when we saw the Christian on the island, the boar that was tormenting Sawyer, and Kate's horse that it was actually the smoke monster. Some have also speculated that Walt's appearances after he was taken from the raft are actually the smoke monster. I think that when Michael saw Libby in the hospital after his failed suicide attempt, that was also the smoke monster. So we've already seen the smoke monster take the form of Christian once (we think), and we've seen the smoke monster off the island (I think), so why not as Christian off the island.
