But I've always assumed that, like us until recently, the Death Eaters have never once seen a single member of the Order of the Phoenix kill anyone. So surely they would find Narcissa's death at the hands of the Order very odd indeed? Unless they are aware of killings that we are not aware of, or they are all too stupid to adopt another's point-of-view.

Let's not rule out stupid.  LOL  
 
We learned from Sirius that in the last wor Aurors were given the authority to kill. (GOF UK p. 457)  Sirius also intimated that some would kill even when they could have brought a person in alive.  (GOF UK 462)
 
If we assume that the Death Eaters don't know everyone in the Order or assume most if not all the Aurors are in the Order, they may surmise that the Order will kill a Death Eater.  They may also have been given wrong information that someone was in the Order when they weren't.
 
But as I said, let's not rule out stupid.
