This could be a difference of rules as intended vs rules as written. I can see how one may interpret that rules passage as only applying to counterstrikes and damage barriers, but I assure you that the important part of that passage is the "during its action phase" part. Any condition received mid Action Phase, that is normally removed at the end of the Action Phase, is intended to persist through to the next Action Phase, so that it may actually have an affect on the game. 100% certainty that it is supposed to apply to Eye for an Eye.
