Happens randomly, not sure why either. I've also seen it in PvP where an opponent's sword drops to 1 HP during the ranged attack phase, yet they're not knocked out.

Swords and troops don't break in VoT maps, so don't worry about it. Swords that get knocked out will just be grayed out for the rest of the run and won't get EXP from any battles that occur after they're knocked out. If you're having trouble after a sword gets knocked out, then definitely retreat so you don't lose the majority of your collected beads.
