Indeed, that's a problem.  The right fix would be to change the code so
as not to consume any event in the first place.

We could try, but I don't believe we can provide an "unrecord-key"
that's actually reliable.  AFAIK the act of taking an event out of the
queue has too many effects to have a hope of properly reverting
them all.
