What did you do?
I manually placed belts over the ghosts I previously placed with a blueprint using smart belt placement. It's important to mention that I placed the power poles first.
What happened?
The underground belt exits did not get placed, but remained as a ghost.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
The underground belt exits to be placed where there are ghost underground exits already. When removing the ghost completely and doing the same smart belt building, the results are as expected.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.
More detail:
Here's the blueprint used in the example:
I noticed this in earlier versions already, so this is not a new bug introduced by 2.0.20.
Maybe related to this report: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=121980
Reproducible in vanilla, without the expansion executable:
