this could be a typo - but you said the orders were to 'attack rearmost' which would mean that he would never fire his weapon, but instead attempt to get in melee range.
I thought it meant to attack the rearmost enemies but didn't specify melee. The wyrm was always in back, I figured it would either get him or his prophet. (I got the prophet in ordinary combat anyway.) That could explain why he never fired.
Nope, "attack" always means melee. I think the tooltip explicitly says so, too. I think that ranged units fire when they are set on hold, too, but you should either give him the "Fire" / "Fire and flee" command or no command at all. I ususally use no special combat command unless there is a good reason to do so and the AI makes the best choice there is by itself.
