No? I read that you do. You definitely don't get any trickle of xp when dead like you do from just standing around. Maybe you should still get the trickle.
There's no regular trickle of XP either.
However, you get 1 xp per (capture bar) tick while capturing a flag. 100 for actually capturing it.
What you see may be the fact that you get XP for being near enemy creeps as they're killed. The range on that is pretty big.
Towers of light give 300 gold, I think. (Don't quote me on this.)
