### What are the steps to reproduce?

1. Building this custom node-red module : [https://github.com/mayahq/maya-red-bot-utils](https://github.com/mayahq/maya-red-bot-utils)
2. Install this module
3. Drag the `bot-intent` node to pallette and attach to debug node
4. Get the endpointUrl property of the bot-intent node (logged in console). This is a post node
5. Send sample data to endpoint `curl -d "user=random&pass=random" -X POST http://localhost:1880/<endpointUrl>`
6. Check if the debug node catches and logs `msg.payload`. It does
7. Shift the node, or make some small change and redeploy. Repeat Step 5. node.send doesn't emit message

### What happens?

On redeploying, node.send() doesn't emit a message when receives a POST request, even though `req.body` is received and logged. For a while it was working intermittently when I disabled cloning via `node.send({}, false)`. But isn't working now again for some reason when I started with a new userDir. Also doesn't work with custom settings.js

### What do you expect to happen?

On redeploying flow, POST request should follow through and node.send() should emit a message just like the standard HTTP In node. HTTP In node is working as expected but this custom node with near identical code is not, on redeploy.

### Please tell us about your environment:

- Node-RED version: 1.1.2
- Node.js version: v12.16.3
- npm version: 6.14.4
- Platform/OS: MacOS/ubuntu
- Browser: Brave/Chrome

This was originally raised as an issue against Node-RED, which was not appropriate as it's an issue with a contrib node.

I have already pointed at the problem in my comment here: [https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/2664#issuecomment-666158148](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/2664#issuecomment-666158148)
