Not A Bug Pursuit and Destiny Bond

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Destiny Bond is shown as active even when the user gets ko'd by Pursuit while trying to switch out.
I'm currently unable to verify if switch Pursuit is supposed to ignore Destiny Bond on cartridge, but it seems counterintuitive to me.
Pursuit gets elevated to +7 priority when an opponent switches out, which happens at +6 priority. Thus, no action is taken before the Destiny Bond user gets attacked, which means that it should ko the Pursuit user.
It's possible that "[target] is being withdrawn..." counts as an action for the Destiny Bond user, thus deactivating Destiny Bond. That would be very weird tho, because the first part of Focus Punch doesn't deactivate Destiny Bond, at least on Showdown.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
This bug can be replicated by pursuiting a Destiny Bond user, optionally ko-ing them in the process
