Dragon has confirmed that they will get the token and be resurrected, I am just waiting his permission to copy and paste his statement in here.

And WK rules team has confirmed what was stated.

The token will be applied even if KO'ing the target.

Gah, has anyone resolved the original issues of whether infected pieces are cleared of action tokens when they resurrect?

It seems like they should stay in the same square that they died in when they come back to life, and it makes sense that a one-hit-KOed character would still get an infection token and come back to life, and it does, in fact, seem that both the zombie player that infects and claims a piece, and the original owner of the piece that re-kills it, get points for the KOs (the figures are added to the zombie player's force upon death, at their original point cost, so they should be worth that many points for the player that originally owned them).

Buuut I am not sure, either rules-text-wise or spirit-of-the-game-wise, whether an infected piece claimed by a zombie player removes all action tokens from itself when it resurrects. The pieces are KOed, so they are removed from the game, and all tokens are removed, one would think... but normally when a character is KOed, they don't remain in their same space, either, and THAT doesn't hold true, so... basically, I can't find any rules text on this. Help, please?
