Description
As per the subject; as far as I can see this hasn't been reported yet, but that does surprise me.
To reproduce:
- Create a temporary scratch layer (I tested with polyline and polygon layers).
- Create some features, or select them from another layer and copy and paste them to the temporary scratch layer.
- Click the ram icon in the layers panel to save the layer to disk.
- Open the attribute table and there appear to be twice as many features as there should be. I'm not sure if this causes any problems with other functionality.
- Remove the layer from the project, then go to where it was saved and add it back.
- Open the attribute table and the ghost features have disappeared.
Tested on Windows.

Sorry, sometimes this isn't the case i.e. the duplicate features are still there. I'm not sure what is different in the case where they disappear when the layer is reopened.

Seems to be the case when you have unsaved features added to the memory layer when you run "make permanent". Can you confirm?

Yes, that seems to be right. That explains this:

I had the impression it was somehow related to layers in edit mode, but I hadn't figured out that it affected unsaved features only (and always).
BTW isn't a "saved feature" in a memory layer an oxymoron ;) ?

BTW (more seriously), did you ever see my comments at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/7516?
