okay i realized whats happening. i have the setting "Pick Ghost Item if no item are avaible" disabled in Interface settings, and the mod basically requires that to be enabled to be able to ghost an item onto the cursor outside remote view if you dont have it in your inventory.
Its no SE specific at all, which is great. I just mistook cause and effect.
edit:
which is also why piercing ammo jumped onto the cursor only for a split second, cause the ghost piercing ammo is different from the actual piercing ammo in your ammo slot i assume.
