I'm one of NS playtesters, and if Charlie doesn't get back to you... I do believe it was part of his custom authentication code for handling the playtesting that was doing it. If a player who wasn't authenticated to play joined a server, he could get so far as the readyroom fine. But if he joined the team, the authentication would kick him. If I recall correctly, it was a bug in the authentication process where an unauthorized player joining would kick everyone.
