  The change is completely broken, unfortunately :)  It executes the "during" triggers in the "before" phase, and entirely skips the "before" triggers.

  I'll hazard a guess that you're trying to run and stop the reactor twice, and that it only fails on the second attempt.  This behavior isn't supported (reactor.run() can only be called once in a process's lifetime).  

  If this isn't the case, could you include a minimal (but complete and self-contained) example which reproduces the undesirable behavior?
