You figured it out despite my best attempts at shrouding these
features in undocumented mystery. I have no recourse but to relent
and document them. Curses!
Seriously, though, you got it right, and I've updated the docs:
[...]
There are three Session options:
The B<debug> option turns on warnings when states are redefined. This
may help catch instances when state definitions overlap.
Events that are posted to states which don't exist are usually
discarded quietly if there's no _default safety net to catch them. It
can be quite difficult to find misspelled event names when this
occurs. The B<default> option will make this condition a fatal
runtime error, quickly illuminating these errors. Note, however, that
it won't help if a _default state has been defined.
The B<trace> option turns on a runtime trace of dispatched events on a
per-session basis. This is often better than turning on
POE::KERNEL::TRACE_EVENTS since the latter will trace events for every
session at once.
=item postback EVENT_NAME, PARAMETER_LIST
