I think Hopp means that it doesn't activate if you kill an enemy with poison.

I'll be able to confirm it in a couple of hours, so unless someone else has, I will.

An explanation if it doesn't work could be that poison damage is seen as external damage. Thus the damage isn't dealt by the player and the ring doesn't activate since you didn't strike the killing blow.
