The full, dashed namespace name must be used in the continueEvent call.


this.continueEvent('selective-doit', oper.node, {});

and

this.continueEvent('selective-annoy', oper.node, {});


As a main rule, kss names (events, actions and all) always require their 
fully namespaced (dashed) form. (This was not a strict policy earlier, 
and I believe that the current way of handling is more logical and also 
simplified the kss core code.) 

For example:

"doit"               would be a name in the default namespace, which is 
                     not defined
"selective-doit"     is the doit event in the "selective" namespace

In the future we may also support namespaces with more levels (it is just 
a question of decision, because the code can already support this).

(As a little annoyance, no BBB could be provided in this case, but this 
part of the api was also not officially stable and documented either.)

It may be a good idea to add a hint about the namespace issue at the end 
of this error message though.
