Why does [this site](http://nihongonosensei.net/?p=3730) say that そばから "Can be
used only with past tense" then use it with ている？

The usage note:

> 後件は良くないことが多く、 **過去のことにしか使えません** 。

The example sentence:

> 雪かきをするそばから雪が積もり始めている。

～そばから and its する form
It doesn't say "past tense" but 過去のこと and it seems to mean "what has already
happened", here. It's certainly misleading, though.
