Fancy Footwork not giving MP when initiating combat

[hilf]

I'm initiating combat from stealth, my hit lands, there is message about MP gained from Fancy Footwork, but I'm not getting any MP.

This happens when you initiate combat from real time by directly attacking. At this point, the turn based combat has not started yet and no MP/AP are being tracked, so I'm not sure I can fix this issue :/ It only affects the first hit though so shouldn't be that big of a deal. Workaround would be to manually initiate combat before attacking.
