No, it doesn't.

Reality checking and discussion came down firmly on the idea that you really couldn't dodge more actively just because you attacked a bit more lightly. Plus, game balance wise, Dodge is pretty powerful, so it was a very big bonus to justify, and it didn't seem like "fade away jabs" or what have you really earned enough to explain a +1 to anything except Parry or Block.
