OK. After talking this through with Jose I finally narrowed the issue. When using mailhandler and mail2web to enable posting comments via email reply you can force comments to be immediately published by using this command in mailhandler:

status: COMMENT_PUBLISHED

I have a few small sites with trusted users so this approach removes the requirement to moderate comments. I understand that it's probably a bit risky to allow un-moderated comments via email, but for a small site of trusted users it is a nice option.

Problem is with the new notifications code this does not trigger a notifications event.

Going to see if I can find a work-around with triggers/actions but wondering if this can be fixed in the long-run.

looks like my use case will be addressed in D7 by adding a publish comment action.

I am going to mark this duplicate of #285226: Redefine notifications and node/comment approval workflow and post my questions/comments over there.
