Shouldn't it be just "(tu) Machucaste-me" - anyhow, it is accepted (I just thought that "(tu) me machucaste" would be incorrect in European portuguese (and I guess one wouldn't use "tu" in Brazil))

It's not incorrect. You can't use a "pronome oblíquo átono" (me, te, o, a, lhe, nos, vos, os, as and lhes) in the beginning of a clause (oração). So, there's a "tu" in the beginning of the clause, you can use "tu me machucaste", but I think it's not common in Portugal, because the pronoum is barely pronounced (it's like "machucaste-m").

In a parallel thread, they're saying that you can't begin a sentence with ‘me’, so that if must be either ‘Tu me machucaste.’ or ‘Machucaste-me.’ (or presumably even ‘Tu machucaste-me.’).

It's the same conjugation for "vocês" (plural you) and "eles/elas" (they) so I think it should have been accepted.

Doesn't it depend whether we are talking about physical or emotional hurt?

Doesn'r it depend whether we are talking about present tense or past?

This unit is about past tense, you used present one, for this particular exercise the English sentence can be translated in the present tense. Your sentence is a possible translation but lacks accents, it should be "você está ferindo-me". Also, Brazilians prefer próclise, that is, positioning the pronoun before the verb, so it sounds better to us if you say "Você está me ferindo"
