The Incredible Blitzing South African Ghost Division! (?!?)

I've been playing a SP game as Italy; I've taken the north coast of Africa, as well as about half of the east. Occasionally, a South African corp composed of 0 divisions will appear in one of the 0 infra British provinces and then blitz through ungarrisoned provinces behind my line, instantly taking 3 or 4 before finally disappearing from lack of strength.

Simply said: WTF?

I know this problem too. In my campaign as Poland vs. Germany, I challenge two 0 fighter-div. (?). But, I don't know the root of this bug. I think, maybe the same problem as the transport flottilas with 0 ships.

(???)

If you send in an airplane on ground attack mission, ghost divisions will be immeaditly finished off.

EDIT: Of course the ghost division things is a bug IMO.
The one with the ghost airfleets too, but that does no harm.

Yes, but after a while they are automatically destroyed, right? This was fixed in 1.05 but sometimes units remain a little too long still

I think it's automatically killed when it comes to a province occupied with friendly forces. Of course it's killed as soon as it's engeaged in combat - but it recaptures always enemy provinces before combat starts.

It'll vanish in time, but considering its speed, it can still nab a few pointless provinces that are impossible to get back without annexation/puppeting or paratroopers.

The unit disappears in a few hours of gametime -- but it appears to have an extremely high speed on account of the lack of divisions, so the ghost corps ends up taking a few provinces. I was attacking deeper into Africa at the time as Italy, so it repeatedly severed my supply lines. :-/
