I'd also wonder if these students were "marginalized" or "excluded" at the original school. Many kids (not just gifted kids) are "easy targets" (for lack of a better term). It's a big jump to say moving around is the cause rather than the symptom.

Since GT kids are such a small portion of any population, I would have a hard time believing that they played a major role in this study. As for our personal experience, my kiddo was never bullied, marginalized, or excluded in the schools we moved him from. He made friends easily and kept them. I know we are lucky in that respect.
