The problem here is that people just assume that defeating Reichsman is the end, but it isn't.
This is not a bug. You should stay in your group until you know the SF is over.
After defeating Reichsman, the last mission of the SF is to speak with Lord Recluse.
LR is not the contact, Barracuda is.
You get the merits when somebody talks to LR and completes the SF...
This has nothing to do with "calling it in". You can get the merits and quit without the leader ever "calling it in" to Barracuda.. as long as somebody talked to LR to complete the last mission first. lol 
You might want to check this because for every TF/SF you get the merits either as soon as the final mission completes or as soon as you exit the final mission once the TF/SF completes. Its even like this on the Ouroboros stuff. This could be a totally new bug all together where it just isnt giving you merits period, because I dont think talking to the contact again is even going to make a difference.

That might be it all togther never leading one didnt realize last mission was a talk to. No other sf or tf vill side has a talk to mission for the last mission chalk it up as learning curve

[/ QUOTE ] I'm certain that's what happened. It's a common mistake people have been making. We always make sure to warn people not to leave until they get their merits. It's good practice to do so anyway.
On a side note. It is strange that they would write the SF this way.
Maybe they will "fix" it by writing that part out of it.
Personally, I'd like to see a cutscene at the END of a TF/SF for once.
In this case, LR appearing and giving his speech.
The end of the cutscene would then trigger the End of Mission, and the TF.
That's just my opinion of course, but it would be a fun way to prevent the confusion.

Heh, you just missed Mateo's explanation.
The last mission is: Talk to Lord Recluse. That's what ends the SF, not beating Reichsman.
After talking to LR, *then* you get the Merits. Then the leader can call Barracuda and disband the SF.
I like to die a lot in this SF (at level 50, I don't care about debt). It's a fast way to the "Talk to LR" missions and to the Portal mission by way of Granville hospital. I think leaders should make a habit of using Self Destruction after defeating Reichsman as a reminder to folks that the SF isn't over yet, and as fast way to get to LR before someone quits the SF. But that's just me. I explode. That happens to me sometimes.

Just an update customer support credited me with the merits but more people need to know about this potential issue.
If you quit the team after completeing the BSF before the leader calls it in you will not receive the 30 merits.
FYI I /bugged it petitioned it and sent a PM to Castle
