I assume that figures are won at the end of a player's turn, and not as soon as the land areas surrounding a town are filled.

If that wasn't the case the figure exchange tile would be far less useful and the fleets would be significantly weakened.

I can think of a rare circumstance where it would matter. Under the standard rules if you play your Ronin to win a figuree, you can then use your move tile to reposition a tile - even if it was needed to claim the piece just won.
