Yup. I've had it happen 3 times now and it's nonsense. If damage has been assigned resulting in Metropolis being killed, then it should be triggering the life gain. The card states "WHEN" Metropolis Reformer is dealt damage, not "AFTER". Therefore the life gain should occur before lethal damage takes place.
Any justification otherwise is just melee mouthing nonsense.
