I compared the two hudlayout.res files, and these were the changes that I found:

"CTFKillStreakNotice"
{
"fieldName" "CTFKillStreakNotice"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "640"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"bgcolor_override" "0 0 0 0"
"PaintBackgroundType" "0" // rounded corners
}

Even after adding that to my hudlayout.res, the game still crashes. Anyone else find anything related to this issue?

Can't load, TF2 is officially dead. Either that or this is how Mac players feel since they never get a working fix.
