Bishop will be covering that square, because en passant would open up the bishop's path.
edit : me dumbass, only thought about taking with the e pawn and not the g pawn.

h6 is a dark square, the white player's bishop is a light square bishop.
Sorry, I was commenting about one step earlier - checkmate happens the moment en passant is played, because black's F pawn is gone and white's E pawn is now at F6, leaving the path open for the bishop.
