Hmm, I'd play it that the conditions DO come into play
when attempting anything to do with that creature. However,
I would certainly say that a struggle ensued which took
the creatures attention away from whatever it was supposed
to be doing (like supporting the character). I'd rule it
wouldn't otherwise effect the character (the conditions
"protect" the character - that's part of what they're for)
or the creature (unless the conditions allowed it to).
Of course the creature may be "screaming" to the character
to help it - it may well be afraid even though it can't be
hurt. This may well unbalance the character's concentration
:-)
Cheers
