possible pursuit glitch?

so i was playing a cresselia vs slaking, i expected the pursuit, so i didn't switch out, and it used pursuit. now slaking has truant, so it can't attack the next turn, and i decided to switch out then. and got ko'd by pursuit?!? does this really happen in the game or is it a glitch in shoddy?
 
Well, now that i think about it, it wouldn't be fixed anyways for SB1, but if it turns out that this is not the way it is in the game, it should obviously be changed.
 
I just did a test in Diamond and Pearl and it's not supposed to "break Truant" this way. I modified my attack description slightly to clarify this:
When opponent switches, if user chose this attack for use and opponent is one of user's opposing Pokémon, and if user is not asleep, frozen, or about to skip its attack this round because it has Truant, and if user did not take its turn yet this round, user uses this attack with effectiveness doubled and skips its attack this round.
