Test cases should test the specs.  The spec still has EventException and in ISSUE-179 we resolved to keep it in the spec. 

If for some reason we go back on that and do remove it from the spec, then it will be easy to change these 2 tests to a different exception type. At that time, the test case can easily be updated to test the new type.  The test case ought to test that implementations throw the new exception type for these scenarios, rather than testing that they don't throw the old type.
