Can we please get a detailed Mechanics Interaction description for Emperor's Vigilance with Divine Flesh Timeless Keystone?

Emperor's Vigilance

Damage from Blocked Hits cannot bypass Energy Shield

+

Divine Flesh

All Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield

From a description about Divine Favor E:Flesh by Mark_GGG Here.

"X damage bypasses/does not bypass ES", it's more like "ES can/cannot intercept X damage." So effects that make damage bypass ES are the "cannot" case (ES can't intercept that damage and protect you from it) and take precidence over the "can" cas (ES can intercept that damage before it hits life).

However This Video shows that Emperor's Vigilance overrides DF Keystone.

Can we get a detailed explanation of this interaction set? Has this coding been changed since Mark wrote that a year ago, or did Mark actually get something wrong?

This was brought to my attention a while back, the shield's behaviour is indeed a bug and is fixed in 3.12
