No deficiency. You put a script into the main message path and the IDE happened to get some messages before your library did. All messages pass through all the libraries unless another script earlier in the hierarchy stops it.
Libraries have a layering order dependent on the order in which they were inserted. Since the IDE is already set up before your stack's library is inserted, the IDE libraries will catch messages before your library sees them. The order can change when/if another library is inserted or removed. If you were to remove all the IDE library scripts, insert yours, and then re-insert the IDE ones, yours would have caught the messages first. But since you can't rely on the layering order of any particular library, it's safer to just avoid common message handlers whenever possible, or test to make sure the message is one you want to handle.
