0005652: Dwarves alive during abandon show up as missing, produce ghosts but still mill about as friendly at screen edge.
Upon being on the butt-end of an ambush I was totally unprepared for, I just abandoned and decided to reclaim later. However, after I had produced all the coffins and buried a few of the corpses of those that died before I reclaimed, I noticed that though there were no corpses left, I still had about 10 ghosts.

When I checked the missing/dead screen, every single living dwarf of the previous group was listed as missing. Furthermore, when I checked the bottom edge of the map I saw about twenty friendly dwarves. Every body part in their wound screen was missing, and on their description it simply said "His/Her upper body is gone."

The ghosts not only caused FPS drops but, since they couldn't be lain to rest, the several murderous ones would have slowly killed the fort.
1. Make a fort with a few dozen migrants.
2. Wait for goblin ambush (not sure if directly related to the invaders)
3. Abandon and reclaim
4. Check map edges
No tags attached.
