Yes, this is a race access to callout_stop() in em driver.
callout_stop() needs to be called with callout-specific lock held
otherwise you can get a race and this seems not happening. I just
inserted this assertions in order to catch bugs like these.
I have no time to double-check it, can you do?

Thanks,
