Umbral dragons are unique in that they can devour incorporeal undead, like ghosts and spectres. However, incorporeal undead are essentially souls and ghosts eaten by them do not manifest again. Wouldn't that mean that when an umbral dragon eats a ghost, they're eating the individual's soul and destroying it?

Officially, I don't think it specifies what happens to the undead after they're consumed. I think it's pretty much up to the DM. They might be destroyed utterly, they might be sent to the Boneyard for judgement, they might become a part of the dragon in question...I don't think there's a right or wrong answer.
Hm, I see. I like the idea that they become part of the dragon. Maybe killing the dragon frees the souls.
... ghosts eaten by them do not manifest again.
While it certainly sounds appropriate, I don't find any information to confirm this statement. None of the abilities in the Umbral Dragon entry (bestiary 2 or PRD) indicate ghosts do not rejuvenate.
