Description
#### Live Demo
https://stackblitz.com/edit/shady-dom-events?file=index.html
#### Steps to Reproduce
Create two elements and nest one in the other.
Have the child dispatch an event in `connectedCallback`
Have the parent listen for that event
#### Expected Results
The event should be handled by the parent.
#### Actual Results
In polyfilled browsers the event coming from `connectedCallback` is not handled. It's almost like it doesn't exist. It does not trigger the handler and it's not even causing the capture phase.
Events dispatched past `connectedCallback` are handled as expected.
#### Workaround
It is enough to make the dispatch async by wrapping in `setTimeout(dispatch, 0)`.
