Though this particular instance of ghost flags occurs when ctf_manualreturn is
disabled, it's probably appropriate to document it here.

In a CTF game I was part of this evening, a ghost flag was produced by the
following events:

Player A (red) picks up a blue flag from the ground.  Next he returns a red
flag laying on the ground.  He then captures the blue flag.

I was able to reproduce ghost flags in this same scenario in a contrived
experiment with two clients on a localhost server on my computer.  Capturing
the blue flag is not necessary to produce a ghost flag.  The ghost flag appears
for Player B at the spot the blue flag was picked up from but disappears when
Player A successfully captures the blue flag.
