Searched for it, and couldn't find anything relevant, so here goes.
I had joined a squad, but we had no commander, so I took up the position. Funny thing was, I still was part of the squad, as command. I couldn't spawn on the SL, but I still had his green spawn dot. Weird. My icons/ text were green too, as if I were still part of it.
If the dude is standing in a bad spot you can't spawn there. I usually yell at the idiot to move position so the rest of our squad can spawn.
edit: lol, re-read what I just skimmed over. You were commander so you couldn't spawn on the SL. I think it was green because you selected the squad from the command screen. Not sure why you still saw a green spawn dot though.

I've seen that a few times (not the commander part though); the game shows you as being in a squad but you can't spawn on SL, because you aren't actually in the squad...you also can't leave the squad whatever you do...and if you switch teams or leave server and come back to the original team it still doesn't work, lol. Very annoying
I've seen it before, but not with the commander. Someone left our squad but he was still in it then someone else joined. We had 7 guys listed as being in the squad, but the one that left couldn't spawn on the SL. Wish I still had the screenie, but it was quite a while ago (ie pre-1.3 patch).

I'm glad to know it doesn't happen in just our server.
I saw a guy on =PL= Surge bitching about how the server sucked because a car survived running over his AT mine, I told him it happens sometimes, especially in fast cars...instead of accepting it, he went nuts and said he'd been playing since the game came out, and 'every server is different'...lol.

I still see 7 man squads all the time in 1.41
I see fairies and gnomes all the time in 1.41. All the time. Pretty freaky stuff. I hope 1.5 fixes it.

The Commander in Squad and 7/6 squad are really no big deal. I only recall getting few real good wtf moments in BF2 and those aren't that great.
You want some real bugs you'll definitely get wtf moments with these. Seeing the red/blue name tag bug for the first time will do it. Along with the enemy sitting in your car while you're driving. Zombie kit bug where you see someone running around with their arms extended as if they were pretending they were an airplane. Automatic M16. (L85 server registry glitch)
Broken squads where no one can create squads. The server thinks there's squads being played but actually they're invisible dummy squads created due to squad leaders causing a forced teamswitch against the autobalance. It accumulates over time until all the squads have been nullified and you end up with a team inable to make squads.
Commander position being locked out, preventing anyone from commanding. Under certain conditions where the enemy doesn't have a commander, if you switch teams while your commander puts up a uav you'll still see the uav on radar as you spawn. If you apply for commander with the uav still active it screws with the server and locks out the commander position for that team.
And the corkscrew rockets bug but that bug was fixed long ago...
There's also some really rare bug with FF being turned off. After being team switched, if you spawn right on a flag when it turns white to the last millisecond, you'll spawn as an enemy registering as friendly on the server. With FF being off no one can kill you by normal means. So you can run around taking flags and people will consequently think you're hacking. Best way out is to suicide or get crushed by a car.
There's also rcon abuse where you can force a red/blue nametag glitch while having the wrong team skin too but I'm not going to give that one out. You'll never see it naturally but it's possible to play as MEC with a USMC skin and vise-versa. Reported numerous times but it never got fixed.

Ive had that happen by accident quite a number of times, seems to happen when I get team switched and it doesnt stick
