Alright, so soon after that false alarm with the legendary combatants, I bring you something which cannot be anything but a bug (I am playing 40.24):

The dwarf's remains are buried in a coffin, confirmed with the (t) button when looking over the burial receptacle (mangled partial skeleton, but still). However he is also a ghost. I couldn't find a similar issue on the bug tracker.

Apologies about the missing letters. The phoebus texture pack seems to do that without TWBT enabled.

His name was available on the list to have slabs engraved, and engraving and placing the slab resulted in him being put to rest.

But he was undoubtably both interred in a burial receptacle and in ghostly form at the same time.
Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas as to the cause? Should I post this on Mantis?

Save from before the engraving of the slab is up at:

Yeah, ghost and the actually entity share the same entry it seems.
If you look into history events, you'll find more.

A ghost also shares the bed with its living spouse, if you q the bedroom you'll see.

Thanks, I don't know how I missed that! I looked through all the results of searching "ghost" on mantis... ah well, that is slightly different to this instance - the dwarf in my case came back as a forlorn haunt and was never disinterred. That is, his remains went straight to the current receptacle when he died and the current receptacle has remained unmolested. I guess it's time to register a mantis account, since that bug apparently has no relatives.
