Under normal circumstances we will always be able to tell by virtue of the tally if a gifted was slain or de-gifted. If the number of wolves goes up, the gifted was slain since the EW's nightly curse was obviously used to create another wolf. If the number of wolves remains the same, then the EW's nightly curse was used to de-gift.
Not necessarily. What if the EW curses one ordo, while the GW uncurses a wolf, and a gifted is killed? The tally would show the wolves staying the same, while the gifteds go down one, and we have a dead villager. We don't know if the villager was a gifted who was killed or if the EW de-gifted someone at the same time the GW is uncursing someone else, unless the uncursed wolf comes forward, which they might not, because they might not be believed, or they might hope to be recursed the following Night.

As far as wolves killing wolves, I'm discounting that because it doesn't seem too likely that the EW would be a fan of that.
It goes back to strategy- if we only get tallies and not roles, then the EW could allow a wolf to die (especially once he/she gets enough wolves to afford the risk) to add to the general confusion and paranoia.
