The curse (punishment) somehow treats me as an enemy when the lab trap lands the killing blow on the ghost, and I get oneshot by the curse's:
"10% of Overkill Damage from Killing Blows on Cursed Enemies is Reflected to other Enemies as Physical Damage."

This lab has 300% increased monster life and trap hit are based on life. Punishment also had significant curse effect from the cursebot, increasing the damage the ghost takes by a lot. Maybe this could make 10% of the overkill damage from the dart enough to one-shot 8k ES?

Here is a video of some testing done in merc lab with a lvl 1 punishment. You can see I take a small hit when the mob dies from the traps while cursed (use slow playback speed to see it clearly).

Here is a copy of the info in the reddit thread made:

Spoiler

The saboteur is using ball lightning mines. Punishment was applied by the occultist using the Doedre’s skin effigy, along with a bunch of other curses. The ghost was a tormented rogue. He dies the same frame as the ghost, in range of the punishment overkill AoE.

For anyone thinking that this was darts, we had taken the reduced damage taken from traps darkshrine, and a single dart would never kill like that. Two darts wouldn’t even kill like that. Gift to the Goddess does not have the increased damage taken from traps. Before this, the saboteur was hit by a bunch of darts all the time without any issues.

edit:

As pointed out by Timzasd, it looks like if a monster is killed by traps while it is cursed by a friendly punishment, you are counted as an enemy in punishment's:

10% of Overkill Damage from Killing Blows on Cursed Enemies is Reflected to other Enemies as Physical Damage.

This lab has 300% increased monster life and traps are based on life. Punishment also had significant curse effect, increasing the damage the ghost takes by a lot. Maybe this could make 10% of the overkill damage from the dart enough to one-shot 8k ES?
