Ok, not Klaus, but dpreview just updated their review to include the ghosting. They estimate the ghosts to be 8EV down, which is towards the worst end of my earlier calculation.

8 stops... I do not know how they measured that exactly.



But the ghost lights in dusk till dawn images are very bright. To me it seems that dpreview is trying to downplay the matter more than it should be downplayed, I feel imaging resource is being more clear (honest?) about the matter.



A few examples that are NOT about dusk till dawn city scapes:



From the dpreview studio shots:

A55v



NEX 5





We can see a ghost of the gold band/arc in the black label with the A55v. That is not 8-stops, if a DSLR has 8 stops DR?

A55V



NEX 5





We can see the white band ghosting into the dark blue.



Another image crop to illustrate the ghosting:



(ghost sideways as image was taken in portrait orientation)



Again, one does not have to care about the ghosting... but it is very evident in more situations that I thought it would before. That is because now we have access to RAW conversion results, the soft JPEGs were hiding it more.
