Hidden Lurker Question

[Inovia Sil]

I keep seeing references to Hidden Lurker as an Action Modifier. In
fact, my group played it as such for quite a long time, until we noticed
the Action symbol on both the Jyhad and the Vampire versions. Has this
been erratated, or am I misreading on this group. Thanks in advance.

It has been fixed. It's an action modifier that makes the using vampire
tap. (and, since the tapping is a special effect and not a cost, it can be
used by a tapped vampire)

That was fixed, as well. Only untapped vampires can use it, by part
of the same errata that makes it an action modifier. Errataed card:

Hidden Lurker. Action Modifier. Obfuscate.
Usable only by an untapped vampire other than the acting minion after the
acting minion is blocked and combat is over. Tap this vampire. This
vampire now enters combat with the blocking minion. The first round of
combat, the blocking minion cannot use any strikes.
Superior: As above, but with an optional press.

Would a Dawn Operation continue into the Hidden Lurker combat, then?

The effect would continue (since it is an action modifier), but
it wouldn't apply - since (by card text on Dawn Operation) it only
applies to the *resulting* combat - that is, the combat resulting
from the block.
