So how the nametags work is that at the beginning of the match, the game reads the internal ID numbers of all the Commanders, to keep track of which unit to draw the nametag on top of.
However, there are a finite quantity of ID numbers, so after a unit dies, it's ID number can be reused for a new unit.
In long games that have lots of units being built and dying, if a Commander dies, it is possible for its original ID number to be used for a new unit.
However, the code that draws the nametags isn't properly clearing the ID numbers, so it sees the "correct" ID number, and thinks it is the Commander.
Since you can also resurrect Commanders, which gives them a new ID number, it is possible to have lots and lots of mistagged units.
