should also not be able to enter such an obviously invalid state.

Per testing on Minkata, suppressing callbacks during all vault downloads
has a deleterious effect on imagers. While my high level assumption is
correct, vault downloads can encompass situations where we want
notifications (eg re-downloading imager inbox folders, new age info
vault fragments). Whoops!
