I'd try to make a static copy of it (using a time shift) and copy back the animated point position from the original object (using a copy attribute)

You need to compute your orientation on a static frame (like from a TimeShift), then interpolate that orientation onto the moving object using Blend Shapes or some other method. I'm attaching an example.
