The only thing I can think of is that somehow the game thought he was hitting you in the back. A jumping melee attack with massive damage does 9 points of damage, which is more than enough to destroy an overshield, but for it to kill you outright you would have to have less than half (specifically, 3/7) of the overshield left. As I said before in another post, the overshield adds 7 points to your defense (this is starting to sound like an RPG), giving you a total of 13.
