Yeh; I noticed that too.

And to expand event further, for the record:
The signal is emitted even if gtk_entry_set_activates_default (w, 
TRUE) has been called so that pressing the Enter key activates 
the window's default widget.
The signal is not sent as a result of change in keyboard focus 
(such as pressing tab or a cursor key).
