The Snap-Fire rules do specifically state that the unit takes a hit.
Given that saves apply to any time a unit takes a hit, I would say you
definitely get your save (though you would still be halted if you
made it, since that is independent of the hit). The same would apply
to holofields and powerfields, which also block "hits".
