You might want to double check the rear window, the one that lifts up for easy access to the rear area. Not sure, but I think if that window is not completely shut the "door ajar" alert will sound. Long shot, but something similar happened to me on an SUV rental once.
If all else fails, find the bell / buzzer (probably under the dash) and unplug it.
My :2cents:,

That's a good point, it is quite easy to over look the rear window/hatch and that will, as you mention, trigger the door ajar indication.
