What happens when you place a Ghost Ward beyond the Sightstone's limit?

Question

The new Sightstone seems like a fantastic value,

Unique: Ghost Ward - Consumes a charge to place a Ghost Ward. You may have a maximum of 2 wards from this item at once.

What happens when you put down a third ward while two are still on the map?

Does the same happen with the Ruby Sightstone?

I believe that appears an error message saying that you already have 2 wards. And the same should occur with both Ruby and normal sightstones. — Michel, Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 17:21
ERRATUM: in the first comment it says "I just thought of something hilarious: when some support with oracles tries to destroy the first ward you dropped, drop a new ward, and the old one will disappear without giving them gold :D" So, they disappear. — Michel, Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 17:23
Sightstone is easily the best item to have as a support this season — Paralytic, Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 17:40
@Paralytic until you need to have more than 2/3 out at once :P — Brian, Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 17:49
@Brian a support should really only have to put 3 wards out at once, top and jungle should be helping to ward atleast a tad — Paralytic, Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 18:04

It deletes the oldest ghost ward out at the time and places your new one down. See below for examples

Two wards

Here is two wards from the sight stone

Third ward

You can see the other ward fading out after I placed the third

Third ward with ruby

After getting the ruby sight stone I can place a third ward with the other two out

enter image description here

However trying to place a fourth ward causing the oldest to disappear still

This matches what I've heard elsewhere too. Could you provide a source or a screenshot just for clarity?

Sure when I get home from work I'll go into a custom game (If they let me) to screen cap or replay it.
