Quite regularly since build 240, some enemy building that has been seen once by your team will stay on the minimap even though your team doesn't have vision any longer.
I can't reproduce it, but it happens nearly every game, as far as I remember it's only singular Marine structures (especially comm stations) that I can see on the map as Alien player.
It may be related to buildings that were attacked by other players who I spectated attacking these particular buildings while dead.

Given how this appeared in 240, which also had the new spectator system, I guess it's related to that.
1. You die
2. You spectate someone else
3. You see that player having vision/attacking/??? a building
4. the game thinks YOU have seen that building, even though you only spectated someone else
5. you respawn, the game never thinks you stopped seeing that building
6. so that building is shown on your (or everyone's, I don't know) minimap
Thanks!
