Based on my experience, the game seems to do a swift check on if you're capable of completing an action right before it goes off. That's why actions don't go through when you're stunned or turned into a critter.

The most common version of this occurrence is a SAM pressing Zantetsuken and dying mid-animation, which drains their LB bar (because the game confirmed the LB casted) and also doesn't do any damage (because the game registered that you're dead and are unable to do damage).

In short, no, it's probably not designed to be like this but it functions like this because of how the game does its checking.
