The results look a little odd at first sight, but repeated testing give the same result.

+
−
The oddness of the results (totem and spectre eating less then just a spectre, for example) seems to be the result of how the respective minions influence both death xp and bury xp.

A little note on the procedures I used:

−
 
+
−
I gathered my team, and killed 5 farmers in the garlic fields surrounding Djelibeybi, one at a time. After this I would at least spend half an hour outside DJB, and kill at least 10 npcs outside DJB. This in a weak effort to stop the influence of repeated killing into the measurements. Every kind of team took out at least 2 of such groups of 5 farmers.
+
−
First I attacked, then immediately ordered my companions to attack as well.
+
  
−
Whether myself or one of my minions managed to do the deathblow had no influence on the results.
