I think B376 is referring to the defender's turn, not the turns of their attackers.

Thus, one could say your turn doesn't end until your next one begins.
But everything that refers to turns in the Basic Set – with the sole exception of the active defense rules – hews to the more restricted usage above.

B419's writeup on Shock interestingly appears to mean that the IQ and DX penalty would not apply until you finished that turn and chose a new maneuver... so for example if I had 19 HP (takes 7 damage to cripple my hand) Extra Attack (Multi-Strike) and right-handed punched a fire elemental and burned my hand for 4 HP (triggering -4 to DX from shock) I could make a 2nd right-handed punch at that elemental at no DX penalty, it's only the following second I'd be -4 to punch it.
