I get hit by dead people

Not sure what is going on but here is the deal:

Happens occasionally

In tactical battle, I attack and hit a unit. The red health bar above unit goes down but NOT all the way, I look at the enemy stats (lower right) and the health reads 0 (zero)/xx , where xx is the original (max) HP.  During the next round of battle this unit with 0 HP attacks (does damage) and dies.

I had no poison dealing units or any damage dealing buffs (like cloak of thorns).  Question: why the 1 turn delay in him dropping dead?

I saw this once, after I used a blizzard scroll. Those units died after either attacking or moving (if they didn't attack).

Some skills, such as the Knight's one that always does damage, show up twice when you do the damage, but the unit being attacked only dies if the first damage kills.  In Legendary Heroes, some damage showed up more than once, but it was only subtracted once.  Now it seems that it is being subtracted twice, but only kills the unit officially if the first damage kills.

I just wanna chime in and say that I see it quite often. If I use blizzard or some AEO-skill/spell that kills units, there are (always) units left standing even though they should be dead. I do not know if that is a power of SK (as he is some kind of necromantic dude with world domination-madness) or a bug.

It just feels like the game is upset and only kills the units after they have taken a parting shot.
