Talking crap cause your butt hurt over going red isn't going to help.
This bug has been around a long long time, just because you've never seen it or had it done to you, doesn't make this untrue.
So yes, it does exist and continues to exist on ever Mir server that i've played, even on Euro. It's simply a cooldown timer, you don't become immune from the death cause until a certain time period.
Example, you would get the same effect attacking someone whose white...if someone else killed them in like 1-2 hits or so, you would still get the penalty despite not dealing the final blow.
Personally, this has never really bothered me....its just something Mir players have come to learn and live with
