GTS glitch (not cloning!)

Oh, it seems there is a glitch. Well, what it is is…PkMn appearing as different PkMn, and then not working to trade.  If you've seen it you'll know what I mean. Well, there's the PkMn there, it seems to be nicknamed after another PkMn, but when you look, it IS that PkMn! You right away go for it, but it doesn't wrok to trade… Here are what Ive seen:
A Murkrow-Manaphy
A Spiritomb-Garchomp
A Spiritomb-Dustox
A Kyogre-Manaphy

I've seen the Murkrow/Manaphy one several times, actually. I've also seen Mew with Torterra's picture and a Charixard with Gyarados's picture.

I'ts probably caused by some kind of mix-up when the Pokemon is uploaded. People trying to do the cloning trick but not succeeding, perhaps?

How exactly do you plan on testing it?

By naming my Pokemon the following and putting them in the GTS:
A Murkrow-Manaphy
A Spiritomb-Garchomp
A Spiritomb-Dustox
A Kyogre Manaphy

And just for fun, I'm trying to get DP Box.

Read about this over at TRSrockin a short while back. Interestingly, they actually HAD one of these creatures in the Anime a couple of episodes back - Risquazgus.

It is a SHINY Rayquaza!
I know because I have one.

I know it's a Shiny Rayquaza. I just find it odd that the anime would show a legendary shiny since in the anime mosr legendaries are one-of-a-kind. Therefore, how could they have a shiny version if there's only one of them :P

Back on topic, anyone know why the glitch happens?

Perhaps the byte that corresponds with the nickname is the same as that of the picture. Otherwise if a PkMn i nicknamed, chances are it searches for the PkMn instead, but thus is slower (only reasonable solution I could think of). But, it doesn't trade because the picture doesn't correspond with the species. Tell me if you can't understand this.
