This actually happened to me also, and I'm not to bad of a player, I was playing on the XI hardcoe server, and I shot someone in the head (which is a one shot kill in that server's mod). The "Headshot!" message came up, but he didn't die. It seemed to be a consistent problem, not just a one-time thing, but I couldn't confirm it until then.
If either you, or the enemy have a bad ping, this might happen.
I vote for bad ping, the server sometimes says HEADSHOT!!! when i shot a guy in the legs after he had been in prone..
