I agree that Mundungus seems an unlikely candidate in this case.  
Whoever told Voldemort about the prophesy did the Order a *really 
big* disservice (to put it mildly).  I can't see that person being 
part of the Order as well (wasn't Mundungus in Moody's photo?  Sorry, 
I don't have my book at work.)  
I think that the bartender at the Hog's Head is much more likely to 
have been the spy.  There is a throw-away line about him seeming or 
looking familiar to Harry when the trio go there for the first DA 
meeting. Perhaps he is a Death Eater and Harry recognizes him from 
the graveyard scene.
