This is some sort of spectator mode bug. I tried spectating my friend just as he ended a match and it left me "spectating" him, but not really. I then challenged him and whenever I returned a card to his hand it would stay revealed. Thoughts?
You are able to spectate a player who is no longer in the game.
Reproduction steps (the first 3 points may be unnecessary): 1) Player A and B have a friendly match. 2) One player unfriends the other. 3) After the message pops up, one player concedes. 4) A sends a friend request to their recent opponent (B). 5) B exits the game without accepting the friend request. 6) As soon as B accepts the friend request, A will be able to spectate B (even if B haven't started the game yet and accepted the request via Battle.net client). There are two different results that occur due to this (6a is recorded here): 6a) A will see the loading meter come up, but then go away. He is now permanently spectating B, no matter what happens, and cannot unspectate B or spectate anyone else. It doesn't interfere with playing the game. 6b) A will get the 'You have been disconnected from the Battle.net service' closed tavern splash screen, and Hearthstone will close.
