however, while animations in battle have had their speeds adjusted to fit the higher framerate, enemy hitboxes haven't, and they spawn twice as quickly after the attack animation begins than they should. For example, if an enemy attack is supposed to hit Zack 20 frames after it begins, it will instead cause damage after only 10 frames, before the attack visually hits Zack. Is this something others have encountered as well? Does the issue exist in other builds? If it is a regular issue, is there a workaround?

Sounds like a frameskip needs to be added to the attack animation code (possibly in multiple places). The patch will need to be updated by someone with the know how - maybe the original author.
