1) This sounds like a bug. If you can file a jira issue, preferably with an example and instructions to reproduce, we can take a look. 2) You can use Events.raiseAsynchronousEvent - but I guess this syntax @Asynchronous @Observer public void observe() { | ... is something we should support, so please raise an issue for this too.
