I believe I'm seeing this happen on my Windows 2008 TF2 servers also, but not as many players lose connection at once. For the first time in over 6 months I started seeing ghost clients appearing in my servers. The problem began two updates ago. This was the same time the Client crashes being reported here began for people. I suspect that when some of the clients crash or lose their connection, their player slot on the server they were on is left tied up until they return unless the server's restarted. So this issue has not only caused problems for clients, but also for servers by way of filling a server's player slots with ghost players. Very annoying considering I thought this was finally fixed but now it's rearing its ugly head once again after an update.
