You were half right. The card is burned with no effect, but it is not
replaced until the entire action is over (including the first combat
resulting from card text or from blocking the action).
"Do not replace until after combat" means: do not replace until a the
end of the next combat or until the current action is concluded, whichever
comes first.
The long winded definition is required for multiple combat/action effects
like superior Form of Mist, superior Psyche, Hidden Lurker, Fast Reaction,
etc.
If blocked, the acting minion does *not* get the optional maneuver from
Bum's Rush, of course.
