Oops... I forgot that there is no 'target' setter to override, only a 'target' getter.
Two other possibilities... 1. If you know all the classes that might be dispatching the wrong event, have them override dispatchEvent(). 2. Put capture handlers on the SystemManager for these events and inspect their 'target' to see if it is appropriate.
