Two that I test drove had it, the one that I bought did not. However it did have a weird smear mid windshield, drivers side.

I have limited time behind the glass, but I was actively looking for ghosting. Will update if I notice any over the next week or so.
Depends on how annoying it to you, I guess.
Also if you can get the new -B part.
Most of all, if you are able to convince Tesla that the replacement needs to be made, since obviously no matter the ghosting the glass is within spec
My Service Center let me know today that they procured two -B part windshields with the plan to test them both and then use the best one of the two on my car sometime soon.
So I guess I'll get to verify the theory myself and report here. Also I wonder how would the two compare, planning to ask them once they do their tests.

redneck drivin' a tesla...
I don't get to drive my X much when it is dark out, due to DST and being home with an infant most nights. However, I did make two nighttime trips recently with my "B" windshield. The first time I was positive I saw ghosting as an approaching vehicle appeared to have six headlights! My heart sank until it got really close and it was an SUV of some sort that did have three sets of lights on each side! Again was out last night and notice no ghosting that was immediately apparent. It was really the worst in the loaner car on the highway when viewing taillights of cars more than 200 ft ahead of me in traffic. But so far, so good. I will report back if I find anything else.

I have a 1105964-00B and I have no ghosting, despite actively looking for it when I drive at night. I took delivery 6/23.1034385-01-H is what I have as well and there is ghosting.
There's apparently a new part number that has no reported ghosting 1105964-00-B, at least with the sample size we have
So I was hoping to get more people with that one.

Did Tesla replace your windshield? They did some sort of laser test on mine and said it was within tolerance and refused to replace it (even though the ghosting is really bad). Did they do the same test on your windshield? I am curious because their seems to be a of consistency with which windshields they replace and which they don't.

Yes, replaced by Tesla.
First replacement was to the same partnumber as the original windshield (1034385-01-H) and made things significantly worse. Both were deemed within spec by the laser tool (I did not see the results as the service center is some 180 miles from me).
First replacement was because the tint was scratched on the original one and I found the scratch at delivery.
In fact when doing replacement for the first time, they tested the replacement windshield and it was out of spec so they ordered another one and I only get to see that (And it was awful, but within spec).
The second replacement was a goodwill replacement for all the trouble I went with all the other repairs of my car (filed a first step of a lemon law claim), at that time I requested the new partnumber that was reported at the time as having no ghosting in new cars, this seems to be mostly true.
This time they ordered two from the get go, tested them and said that the better one of the two was installed but it's still not ideal, will find about that soon I guess, still a massive-massive improvement form my point of view, at least during the day (I mostly drive during daylight time anyway).

Glad i came back to these ghosting threads and found out about the new windscreen. I have had the X for 6 months and knew about it but since i also wear glasses and have always experienced fuzzy/halos with lights on cars at night, i never thought to determine if my X was 'worse'. I decided this week it is. Husband noticed it day 1. But i think we fit into the category of people who have it but aren't obsessing about it.
However if i can get it rectified, this changes the ballgame.

Just returned from the night drive. I can no longer tell if the halos I am seeing are due to my bad vision, my glasses or the windshield.
If I take the glasses off some artifacts disappear but blurriness increases.
Most importantly there's no very distinct and annoying duplicate images floating above every bright spot anymore, so I am going to declare this one as a fixed problem, at least for me.
