You got in before I could birdland.
Moving away from Eru etc for a moment, if we look at possible reasons for 'ghosts' to exist in our own world, it is frequently said that they have 'unfinished business' to take care of before they can 'pass over to the other side'.
It just occurred to me that while Isildur vebalised the curse, the actions of the oathbreakers themselves caused them to have 'unfinished business' and therefore prevented them from passing beyond fully in death.
Perhaps Isildur had a measure of foresight, to see what would become of the oathbreakers, rather than actually precipitating it.
Not that I have anything to back up this theory, but it seems to me to have a certain amount of logic to it. (always supposing that we believe in ghosts that is).
