Yeah, I thought of that.
While it's in-continuity, it DID occur outside the regular Spider-man titles, in MARVEL FANFARE.

But it's still in-continuity with the Claremont-scripted X-men titles with Sargon, Ka-Zar and the Savage Land. And was continued on with the Bruce Jones/Brent Anderson/Ron Frenz/Armando Gil KA-ZAR series (issues 19-22).

So while they could say technically it didn't happen in the Spider-man titles, it is part of Marvel continuity.
