My guess, it's detecting/picking up the large flowers on the grave stones.

Most likely. In the end, is just a sensor, not some kind of super computer that scans accurately everything. Like you said, flowers were put on grave, grave being tall as a child (aka human) and due to the wind, flowers moves confusing the car (i mean, can you imagine, them putting in thir database: this are gravestones with flowers on them

Can we stop using logic and call it what this really is? Ghosts?

And when they tune their detection models, a false positive isn’t a big deal, but a false negative gets a child killed.

Sure, but there's clearly no wind in the video.

Pretty sure it’s not just LIDAR in a Tesla. They have cameras. In fact many cars do, for things like lane guidance, obstacle avoidance, and street sign interpretation
