I strongly suspect, without having the time to test it right away, that it does take place after damage is assigned like it should, but before the damage prevention step. That's going to make it very difficult to reproduce the proper behavior under modern rules.

In fact the trigger resolves after damage prevention step but before regeneration step and till then objects are not yet considered to have been dealt lethal damage.
