Sometimes, when a pilot picks up a tech/cashbox/powerup, the item will still be there after pickup.

I often experience the following bug, but can't reproduce it reliably yet:
I pick up a floating tech or a cash box. I hear the 'picked up' sound and the tech is in my cargo. But I can still see it in space and on the map.
I asked a pilot from the other team (thanks Ly!) to come to me. He had a distance of about 50-100m from the object, but couldn't see it. I also tried to make him fly over it, but it seemed like he couldn't pick it up. I can't pick it up a second time either.
I'm 50% sure that it doesn't disappear from leaving the sector and re-entering it.
This happens in about 1-5% of my tech/cash pickups.

Addendum: I'm pretty sure I had one of these unpickable techs today after it was picked up by an opponent. I.e. he picked it up, I still saw it but couldn't grab it anymore (fly over it three times).
The server was generally very laggy, that might be related.
