When an event limit dropped the event of a rule counting messages with Count until triggered set to 1, the Event Console nevertheless treated the event as opened: The event history contained an entry for the event, although it didn't exist. If the rule had actions, executing them failed with an error and a traceback in var/log/mkeventd.log, and messages received together with the dropped one could get lost.

The Event Console now drops such events like any other.
