channelInactive() not getting called when I call close() on the ChannelHandlerContext

We have been using netty-handler 4.0.28.Final. We have a test where we write invalid xml to a test channel. As below ctx.close() would be called and channelInactive would fire.

@Override
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable exc) {
    if (connectionListener == null) {
        return;
    }

    // Treat unexpected exceptions as fatal to the connection
    try {
        connectionListener.connectionError(exc);
    } finally {
        ctx.close();
    }
}

@Override
public void channelInactive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
    if (connectionListener == null) {
        return;
    }
    connectionListener.connectionClosed();
}

I have been tasked with updating netty to netty-all 4.1.11.Final. Since updating, channelInactive is not getting called. (Only gets called when when we call finish() on the EmbeddedChannel during tidy up).

Why would channelInactive no longer be called when we call ctx.close()?
