Oh this is so internally, the background thread can signal it is not deferred, are you saying there is bug or the code is odd?

I'm saying it's a bug

The deferred_init input argument to Task.init is bool by default, so checking type(deferred_init) == int makes no sense to begin with, and is altering the flow.
