I've pushed the fix, but think it's still wrong to use the callback 
registration map to validate events without filtering out "*". While you 
technically may send "*" as an event, it isn't meant to be used that 
way, just gets added to the map because of the "any event" listeners.

Regarding your question: custom events normally will not have a 
registered listener on the module. Event scripts do not register a 
native callback, the same applies to Javascript event subscriptions and 
events transported via the network to clients (e.g. web plugins or an 
MQTT listener). These are the main applications for custom events.

Regards,
Michael
