Just for the record I'm enjoying this game but have been trying to figure out why I die and then the game says I've been shotgunned. I swear I see nothing at all. That's why I thought it was a bug. But the replies that have tried to explain the whole thing are making sense of it. It's not a bug - but it's a bug etc... You can pay to be invisible but by accident they've made you invincible... I can tell by the number of other responses here that say "you're a **** you're a ****" that a lot of people are enjoying the bug - but I hope it gets dealt with because it's a shame the games where people like that turn up are sort of unplayable. The games without the invisible guys? Brilliant, Love em. I still die to snipers but that at least seems like the player needed skill to take you down!
Just bear in mind also that some players, predominantly those that played scout before the most recent release a few weeks ago, have honed their play-styles to use stealth very very effectively. This takes player skill, and does not require paying to be invisible (aka fitting cloaking equipment). I have killed many a merc without me using a cloak, and can guarantee plenty of them knew only as much as you did when dying. And there are far better scouts than me.
I encountered what you described last week - and since then I've been playing with fits to figure out a counter. I don't know whether the bug was being exploited or not, nor do I care, because the counter I have in mind requires some patience on my part. Next time this is happening to me, I will try out my counter and see what happens. Part of the fun for me :)

Go on... tell me the counter cos I need some help here!! 
The counter is what Luk below me describes and then some patience if they're also cloaked (though you could just add another enhancer and I suspect that would show up anything and everything). Patience, because they can't stay cloaked indefinitely, so just wait for a bit and see if they appear.
