I think the scheduler is at it again and giving out phantom WUs.

I have 12 phantoms now, and haven't seen anything new for at least 24 hrs.

I'm also seeing quite a few master file fetch fails.

I would suggest everyone check their accounts.

More likely the client bug.
Check your processes in task manager and you'll probably find the boinc.exe process running at a high CPU value.
Stop BOINC, wait for all science apps to gracefully quit (watch task manager) and restart BOINC. This should resolve your problem.

I've seen this happen before, not only on this project but others as well (predictor and LHC come to mind as the most recent), usually the scheduler is overloaded or the pipes to the servers are dropping packets.
