When you have a history, it can come back to haunt you. Though him putting Dumas into the wall at PLM wasn't premeditated and was just a racing accident, Montagny was blacklisted from ACO-style prototype racing by most teams after that deal because his past did catch up with him.
The teams are all managed and supported by Prodrive/AMR even if some of the teams are independently owned, and the fact that AMR got a ton of breaks a couple of years ago that have been rolled back this year does smear them in the court of public opinion, even if some of their complaints have merit.
