thanks for the quick response.
If you view the source for MM's EventDispatcher you'll see that it traverses
the event listeners array with a for..i..in. This is so that one of the
listening methods can "removeEventListener" and not screw up the array
mid-process. A for..i..in simply hits every uniqe property despite order or
number.
The code I sent is an illustritive example. I've resolved my
EventDispatcher, but I'm finding this issue is the case in other
circumstanced (states, for example, are changing the frames while a
for..i..in loop is running on that object).

Logically it seems as though a list of listeners should be in an array,

You seem to have a small typo in here:
for (var i in listeners)
{
dispatch(listeners[i].event);
{
The second curly bracket is backwards. I don't know if that is causing
your problem though, could you give information?
Also, there is an mx object that can do event
dispatching/management/delegation:
mx.events.EventDispatcher
