Crazy enough, that strategy really works! Barely got to 1000 by eating ghosts and easily to 5000 using your strategy. I'd say there is even a (very slight) disadvantage to killing the ghost: As long as it's on screen (and preferably slowed down) you know where it is. Once you kill it, you don't know exactly when and where it will reappear. Interestingly, the points you get for a kill are NOT tied to how many ghosts you've killed before. They only depend on the speed of the ghost, which in turn depends on your overall score. So I think one addition to the strategy would be to try to keep the ghosts alive as long as practical early on, then start hunting them when you have, say, 1500+ points and kills can actually give a significant bonus.
