Hmm, indeed. Previously, following the manuals, I would replenish mana and set a delay of sleep(1), but the spell cast after that wouldn't go through. I increased the delay by an order of magnitude – the creature gained mana, and the spell was cast. However, the desynchronization of the battlefield and the ATB scale remains the same as I described.

Although it seems that there is some more general mechanic at play here – when I cast a regular spell with a hero, the remaining duration of its effect also differs if you look at it through the creature on the battlefield and through the icon on the scale. But it occasionally synchronizes.
Simplified code:
function DefenderCreatureMove(unit)
local last_mana = GetUnitManaPoints(unit);
SetUnitManaPoints(unit, 100);
sleep(30);
local player_units = GetCreatures(ATTACKER);
UnitCastAimedSpell(unit, SPELL_BLIND, player_units[0]);
sleep(1);
SetUnitManaPoints(unit, last_mana);
