Really? What space did it move to?
Let's consider the following scenario. It's a three-player free-for-all game.
I have a figure with move 5 engaged with one of Bob's figures. 5 spaces away is another of Bob's figures who he really wants to protect.
But 2 spaces away to the other side, Alice has a figure.
I ask Bob if I can leave to go attack Alice, but secretly I want to attack Bob's other figure.
If I have to actually MOVE before the engagement attack occurs, Bob's plan of action would be clear: make the attack if I move towards his figure, don't make the attack if I move towards Alice's, knowing that if I take a single move the opposite way, I can't reach the figure he wants to protect.
The way I interpret the rules, rather than moving, I should say to Bob "I want to break engagement". Before I make a move, he needs to decide to make or forgo his LEA, without seeing which way my figure moves first.
