Does Travel Garb (or Westmarch/Greenwood Garb, Ranger Cloak, Splendor-Well) stop damage a card flips facedown after I suffered it faceup?

Several players agree on this reading, but there is no official ruling or clear rulebook text.

No. Garb-style negation works only on damage or fear you suffer facedown. Damage taken faceup and resolved counts as suffered, even if the card then tells you to flip it facedown. A relayed FFG reply says the same. Garb does stop facedown damage from any source, not only the app, such as a card that says to suffer facedown damage.
