Indeed, the plugin postDispatch() is invoked after the helper postDispatch (the ViewRenderer is a helper) where the rendering happens. If you need stuff to happen after the action but before rendering, it must be in a controller postDispatch or a helper postDispatch with a higher priority than ViewRenderer. Thankfully, the ViewRenderer has a very low priority so just add the helper through the HelperBroker and you can be sure it would be invoked before the ViewRenderer.
