Mojave: AEDeterminePermissionToAutomateTarget returns incorrectly when askUserIfNeeded is NO

Originator:pfandrade

Product:AppKit Product Version:10.14
Classification: Reproducible:
 
When an application is denied access, AEDeterminePermissionToAutomateTarget returns values inconsistently depending on the askUserIfNeeded parameter.

When sending events to a target app has been denied by the user this call:

AEDeterminePermissionToAutomateTarget(aeDesc, typeWildCard, typeWildCard, NO)

returns errAEEventWouldRequireUserConsent.

But this call:

AEDeterminePermissionToAutomateTarget(aeDesc, typeWildCard, typeWildCard, YES)

returns errAEEventNotPermitted.

Expected results:
Both calls should return errAEEventNotPermitted
