Brian practically states it outright that the machines are the enemy the Honored Matres were chasing. In the Butlerian Jihad, the Giedi Prime (or Earth) Omnius sends out hundreds of probes to unexplored planets. One of these was Arrakis, where it quickly built itself up into a machine, only to be eaten by Shai-Hulud. I doubt he would have mentioned this in the books unless it served some later purpose...and considering both Omniuses I mentioned were destroyed, no one would know of what happened.
