Is this an implication that this worked under 2.x?

Event handlers are not meant to be used for notifications. The  
$CONTACTEMAIL$ macro isn't valid for them. If this was working under  
2.x (I have doubt it was since the macro wasn't supposed to be valid  
then either), it shouldn't have been and would have been a bug.
