I think this should be:

			changed = ctrl_changed = true;

This marks the cluster as changed (correct), and the control as changed
as well (that means a CH_VALUE event will be sent). The next volatile
check will put ctrl_changed back to false if it was volatile, otherwise
the for loop will just be skipped.

Right now writing to a non-button non-volatile control with EXECUTE_ON_WRITE
set and if you write the same value to it (so ctrl->type_ops->equal() returns
0) won't send the CH_VALUE event.

Very much a corner case, but still, it's easily solved.
