Only thing I can think of is you had your icons set to not show friendly icons, although you say you had them all on. Cycle through Alternate/I to be sure you have icons set to normal.

Killshooter is on.  The system takes any damage you try to inflict on a friendly unit, and inflicts it on you instead.  This is to prevent fraggers from shooting their country mates.
