While fighting a wolf I landed a strong hit and dodged at the same time. The wolf was knocked quite a bit back and killed. While midair it flew over the top of a murky pond. At the end of the round I found myself inside the pond and ended up drowning. The combat log read like this:

You charge at the wolf.
You hack it in the upper body with your Iron sword
It is cloven asunder
The Wolf is propelled away by the force of the blow!
The Wolf has been struck down.
The Wolf attacks you but you jump away.

And then after the camera followed  the wolf I switched places with the corpse.

It would seem that you attacked each other at EXACTLY the same time, and you jumped away from the flying corpse's "attack", which uses the X/Y/Z of the corpse, not you, to determine where you end up.
Seems like a simple thing to change... Although if it used your coords, Toady'd need a failsafe to make sure you jump away from the opponent..  Since it uses their coords now to make sure you don't jump into them...
^Above is just an educated guess on the way the system works right now.
Toady, feel free to point out how wrong I might be.

I was under the impression that nothing could happen at the EXACT same time in adventure mode ... Maybe I'm wrong.  Still, that sucks, but, at least he went out in a memorable way!  Sorry bud.

Or it could be that there were two wolves, one of whom you killed, the other who attacked you, causing you to jump away into the pool.
Seems logical, considering this:

The Wolf has been struck down.
The Wolf attacks you but you jump away.

Either it's that, or the situation I mentioned previously.
