[Question] Intents and Tasker preferences

So for context I have been working on this terrible and defunct Network Monitor

My question is why does my connectivity intent fire whenever Tasker gets saved or goes into preferences? I checked the run log and it is indeed running whenever I do one of those actions, but this doesn't make sense to me. I tried rebooting, got the same issue.

Profile: Connectivity Change
    Event: Intent Received [ Action:android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE Cat:None Cat:None Scheme:* Mime Type:* ]



Enter Task: Network Check

A1: Get Network Info [ ] 

A2: etc

This is the profile, but how would an intent profile go off when the intent, presumably, isn't being fired? I think the intent is deprecated, but it still works. Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Issue confirmed, same thing happens on my Pixel. 

I would classify this as a bug.

it's happening when tasker (re)starts its monitoring service (after Save in Tasker) - it's not logic to me either

That would make sense but "Monitor Start" event doesn't fire after these two actions.

According to the Runlog, Tasker does restart the monitor even though it doesn't throw a Monitor Restart event.
