Xamarin.iOS.UIKit.UIApplication.SendEvent calls weird modal closure

Question

I get from UIApplicationand overriding SendEventto capture custom branches. Everything works fine, except when closing type modals IMvxModalIosView.

Here's the method:

public override void SendEvent(UIEvent uievent)
{
    NSSet touches = uievent.AllTouches;
    if (touches != null)
    {
        UITouch touch = (UITouch)touches.AnyObject;

        switch (touch.Phase)
        {
            case UITouchPhase.Ended:
                StartDoingStuffAgain();
                break;

            default:
                StopDoingStuff();
                break;
        }
    }

    base.SendEvent(uievent);
}

Debugging this when closing IMvxModalIosView, if I set a breakpoint at the beginning of the method, and also StartDoingStuffAgain(), the last one hits. If, however, I set a breakpoint at StartDoingStuffAgain(), it never hits. StopDoingStuff()falls independently.

Why is this?
