Ladders are just leeching all the informations they can leech, sometimes they can leech a bit more informations when the edit their own servers but this is still very limited and this is mostly to have more clear informations and don't mess with all useless informations they usually receive.
Ladders are affecting players' behaviors, not the game itself.
That makes sense, but before teamkills reset the flag, ladders for some reason must have been unable or unwilling to leech enough information to track who was teamkilled with the flag. If they were unwilling, it was probably because leeching information like that was tricky to do if the server wasn't providing it by default. If the server kept track of that and gave the point to the teamkilled player, it would almost be default behavior for the ladders to follow suit. I doubt the ladder would go out of the way to give the point to the teamkiller.
