lens flare

lens flare, originally uploaded by qwrrty.

Photographs taken in very low light, with one distinct light source in the frame, produce this ghostly shadow of the original light, diagonally opposite the original in the frame. (at the lower left in this image)

Why? It doesn't appear to be a "lens flare" in the technical sense and I don't think it's a diffraction flare either. Anybody willing to hazard a guess?
