Goose and Fox ghosts - bug or feature?

[Messier-31]

So this is what I see when entering the Goose and Fox inn: ghosts? All of these NPC's are backer related (golden nametags) but somehow most of them is pale blue and looks quite ghastly. Is it a bug, or is it intentional?

Ghosts of the party you killed during The Forgotten.

 

EDIT: If they are showing up before you complete the quest, then yes, it's a bug.

Hey, thanks. As a matter or fact, no, they weren't always there.

 

Okay, so let me get this straight. This party was made by a backer as a reward for his/her Kickstarter pledge. That would explain the golden nametags. But just why these ghosts linger inside the inn? It seems sorta out of place. The backer had his custom party, they've been wiped out (no diplomatic solution), and whatever are the reasons to keep them is just... (don't know how to put it) strange? I don't like the idea, but I understand the devs wanted to express their gratitude a little more.
