Why would Mainloop even care?

Well maybe its a situation where MainLoop dosn't know! Something in that asterisk code is probably blocking the MainLoop's eventloop from working. Here is a big clue.

From the AMI.pm:

Warning - Mixing Event-loops and blocking actions

        If you are running an event loop and use blocking methods (e.g
+. get_response, check_response, action,
        simple_action, connected) the outcome is unspecified. It may w
+ork, it may lock everything up, the action may
        work but break something else. I have tested it and behavior s
+eems unpredictable at best and is very
        circumstantial.

        If you are running an event-loop use non-blocking callbacks! I
+t is why they are there!

        However if you do play with blocking methods inside of your lo
+ops let me know how it goes.

You may need to work out those non-blocking methods. I would say you are best off forking the asterisk code off, or putting it into a thread of it's own.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
