Thanks to
@MrClyde for discovering this pretty funny (and potentially game-breaking) bug.
After attacking an enemy with Cliff Racer, immediately bar swapping will cause the Cliff Racer animation to not appear, yet the outgoing damage will still register. Additionally, though the enemy has taken damage from the Cliff Racer, the damage will not register to the enemy, or to the caster, via the enemy's health bar (or the game's flying numbers). As you can see in the video, my opponent's health bar stays at 100% for the duration of the duel, and also appears the same on his end. Then, suddenly, my opponent drops dead from Cliff Racer damage.
Afterwards, you can see that I resurrect my opponent. He accepts the res, and then after a couple of seconds, begins to take damage from the Cliff Racer even though he is not being attacked. He then dies again, and is not able to be resurrected by me, or revive on his own with a soul gem or at a wayshrine. The only way to fix this is for him to relog.
Note: The same thing happens with NPCs. This could potentially be an issue in trials and other PvE content when, for example, watching for health-based mechanics.
