I've been printing the states and the "current" state seems to be the
expected one. On the otherhand the callback function is indeed being called
asynchronously (but I now for sure that is only fires in that state because
subscription only happens there).

If I would rewrite the code to use the asynchronous_state_machine I could
fire events through the fifo_scheduler and the problem would be solved?
