I know this issue and it can be annoying..
The secret is to look at your character. They have different stances: Attack/Rest stance.
Attack Stance:
Rest Stance:
Basically what this means is, if you are in Attack Stance, the game is fooled into thinking it is actually in combat and thus you gain +1 death while in pvp. The solution is to hang around in pvp for a bit and wait for your Attack Stance to switch back to Rest Stance, so you can leave safely. Also try to avoid Trulle since his hits can cause you to switch automatically back to Attack Stance.
Hope this helps
