Well, its ability it's supposed to be used BEFORE the damage is applied ("target attacking creature"), so I can't see the problem...

The creature's still considered attacking until the end of the combat phase.
Comprehensive Rules wrote:508.1j Each chosen creature still controlled by the active player becomes an attacking creature. It remains an attacking creature until it’s removed from combat or the combat phase ends, whichever comes first. See rule 506.4.
I think, but am not certain, that the engine leaves STATE_ATTACKING in place for the right amount of time.
