Duped Chee'ilth vs. 9.1.5 physical damage burst scourge path

My duped Chee'ith is supposed to instantly heal 66% of damage dealt to her by physical damage effects. In 9.1.5, the scourge path causes defenders to deal 5% of their attack as physical damage for each scourge charge. It did not appear to me that Chee'ilth got any benefit from this supposed instant healing on this path.
I can't provide specific numbers, of course, because I don't have that data. But in my fights using Chee'ilth, it seems that she fared just as poorly as other champs who do not benefit from this burst damage reduction. She went down just as fast if she took a hit when a lot of scourge charges were built up, and in the postgame stats, the portion of damage attributed to physical burst was similar for her as it was for everybody else.
Perhaps the stats could be explained because Chee'ilth is supposed to heal the damage after taking it, like Sinister's ability to regenerate crit damage. But I have never seen Chee'ilth's health bar yo-yo back and forth the way sinister's bar does when absorbing crits. And I know for a fact that that is not happening on that path, because I watched her health bar when she got hit.
So, the bottom line is, I don't have any way to confirm or verify this, but it seems to me that this physical burst regeneration isn't working when interacting with the nodes on this path.

Really easy to test; but watch Chee'ilth rather than the health bar. This is the first fight, against The Champion:
