Mindcontrol Cap (instant, nondispellable), BoP, pick up the flag. You can't stop it either (Divine shield = immune). You shouldn't rely on this a lot, as it will probably will get fixed. You might say that this is a smart use of class skills... But consider the following strategy.
This is similar to the above - catch an opponent player near the exit gates, and Mindcontrol him with a priest through the gates, so the player exits the CTF arena. This will also drop the flag as well if that player was carrying one. Again, this is completely legal use of skills, right? But it doesn't make it less cheap.
This reminds me of another bug, that allowed flag carriers to be summoned by Warlocks! Again, while it used legal class skills, the result that it produced was unintended. So it was fixed. And so I think will the above two methods as well.

What about shamens? in the level 21-30 bracket they can drop an earthbind totem, shift into their ghostwolf form with the flag, and take off at accelerated speed with being nearly invisable. My opinion is that shape shifting should cause you to drop the flag, like activating a divine shield, of mounting of going invisable. (and they're doing two out of the three with that =P)
