I found that the difference is this:

If the memo that displays the messages resulting from the threads 
activity (via TThread.Synchronize or via Application.QueueAsyncCall) has 
the focus, the event does work. If the memo does not have the focus (as 
another control element on the Form or the Window of another application 
has the GUI focus) the queued Events do get handled in the main (GUI) 
thread.

Supposed this queer behavior is the reason why the problem has not yet 
been detected by the testers.

Hope this helps,
