It's extra funny if you're a healer at that point, since Krile yells at you to quit gawping and help. It's abundantly clear we weren't supposed to think she was dead.

The whole thing is really the Worf Effect in action. Y'shtola's barrier had to that point stood up to everything thrown at it without a problem, so having Zenos break it is just to show that he's a real threat.
