Event dispatch (specifically, the handling of "onsuccess", as opposed to
addEventListener('success') which is similar but defined in other specs)
is something that HTML tries to define. Assuming IndexDB defers to HTML's
definition of "event handler IDL attribute", then you go through the
"event handler processing algorithm", which calls "jump to a code
entry-point" which calls "clean up after running a callback" which calls
"perform a microtask checkpoint" which, once ES and HTML have been made to
play nice, invokes the promise callbacks, all before the task that fired
the event handler has returned to the event loop. And once it does return
to the event loop, the next major thing _it_ does is "perform a microtask
checkpoint" anyway.
HTH.
