Espruino WiFi connect callback before connection established

I have been doing some testing on net.connect and find it runs the callback before the connection is established (deliberately erroneous hostname and port in code). I can't then run a registered error event handler. This is counter to the documents that indicate that the callback is executed after the TCP connection is established. I would appreciate some validation that I am not doing anything wrong?

There is also no way I can see to change the connect timeout, however if I use the AT commands I can catch the error.

Output:

**** STARTING ****
WiFi Connected!
["AT+CIPSTART=0,\"TTCP\",\"weeso\",1888\­r\n"
net client before callback {"type":0,"opt":{"host":"weeso","port":1­888},"sckt":1}
net client callback {"type":0,"opt":{"host":"weeso","port":1­888},"sckt":1,"conn":true}
net client disconnected {"type":0,"opt":{"host":"weeso","port":1­888},"conn":true} *** {"type":0,"opt":{"host":"weeso","port":1­888},"conn":true}
net client disconnected {"type":0,"opt":{"host":"weeso","port":1­888},"conn":true} *** undefined
net closed, had_error: false

Code:

var wifi = require("EspruinoWiFi");

function onInit() {
  console.log("**** STARTING ****");
  wifi.connect(WIFI_NAME, WIFI_OPTIONS, function (err) {
    if (err) {
      console.log("WiFi Connection error: " + err);
      return;
    }
    console.log("WiFi Connected!");
    wifi.at.debug();
    var at = wifi.at;
    //at.cmd('AT+CIPSTART=0,"TCP","weeso",18­88\r\n', 10000, (cb) => {
    //  console.log('AT cb '+cb);
    //});

    var client = require("net").connect({host: "weeso", port: 1888}, function (skt) {
      console.log('net client callback ' + JSON.stringify(skt));
      //client.write('Hello');
      client.on('error', function (err) {
        console.log("net error ");
        console.log("Error: " + JSON.stringify(err));
      });
      client.on('data', function (data) {
        console.log("net > " + JSON.stringify(data));
      });
      client.on('connected', function(data) {
        console.log("net connect "+JSON.stringify(data));
      });
      client.on('timeout', function (data) {
        console.log("net timeout " + JSON.stringify(data));
      });
      client.on('close', function (data) {
        console.log("net closed, had_error: " + JSON.stringify(data));
      });
      client.on('end', function (err) {
        console.log('net client disconnected ' + JSON.stringify(skt) + ' *** ' + JSON.stringify(err));
      });
    });
    console.log('net client before callback ' + JSON.stringify(client));

    });
