Are you using hyper-glide cassettes?  Or the previous uni-glide (unramped,
twist tooth)?  And does the ghost shifting happen on the 7 sp or 8 sp?

One trick I've used to decrease the sensitivity of 8 sp HG is to use 7 sp
spacers between offending cogs.  With ghost shifting, I've noticed it's
usually isolated to only a single pair of cogs on any given cassette.

I can't say that this is my experience.  My bikes are 8 speed and 7
speed respectively.  They can run index or friction (Shimano bar end
shifters (old style LX rd's)) and I have to say that friction shifting
is smooth.  Both are cassette hubs.  The only issue I have on one bike
(non-Riv) is that the frame has a bit of flex to it, which can cause
ghost shifting.  On that bike, I use the index mode and wards off the
ghosties.
