The positioning of the ghost avatar relates to the angle from your car to the ghost. When you are very close to the ghost, even slight deviations in line will result in the ghost avatar switching between far left and far right. It's no conspiracy, just geometry. If I remember correctly, I think Matt said he wrote the code when he was a developer and data is recorded at a different frame rate than the actual run, so it sounds like your description is accurate.
