Maybe the zero infinity point is just an abstract notion and therefore we are not allowed to calculate (-k*G + k*G) as a normal addition.
You can't calculate -P+P in a "normal" way, because this points have same X, so it will lead to division by zero (or, if we talking about EC math - multiplicative modular inverse of zero which doesn't exist).

Nobody can't help you here, until you explain how exactly you're calculated this numbers
