So,
utterly forgot to back-check the query that came up at Eastsided G&C the other weekend (and just remembered it last night),
but it is answered clearly in the BRB (would have just answered with more confidence at the time, but was wrapped up in the round I was in and unable to focus).
BRB Page 37, first paragraph under the section 'Number of Attacks';
"...does not matter if all the enemies that they were engaged with have been killed-if a models was engaged at the start (of) the fight (and is still alive when its turn to attack comes) it can still attack."
I was hesitant to answer because I couldn't remember (with 100% certainty) the wording there AND the definitions of engaged and locked off the top of my head.
