Have parry penalties in general expire on the turn of the character who made the attack that was parried, maybe? It would be a bit of bookkeeping, but it would remove another artifact of the turn order: defense penalties incurred right before your place in the turn order don't last as long as those incurred earlier.
Maybe an AOD could clear your defense penalties early as a side benefit.

Yes, that is how Concentrate maneuvers in general are intended to work.
