Errant traffic signals picked up by TCAS

Every now and then, I get a TCAS alert, and when I go to inspect my ND, I see the problem target changing altitude rapidly, yet there is usually no actual traffic in that location.

 

EDIT: I stand corrected. Concurrent with the TCAS alert, a B77W I've been following with 2000 ft vertical separation has shown a break in its contrails.

I revised my initial post with new information. The TCAS alert happens with aircraft that have been in visual range for a while without ever becoming a factor, coupled with an interruption in the contrails.
