Think of it as an asynchronouse notification that something changed in
another package vs a notification that the triggering package needs
something to be processed to be able to declare itself as configured.

In case of -noawait, the triggering package never gets placed in a
triggers-awaited state, so it can always satisfy dependencies when it
has been configured.

dpkg was buggy and never performed dependency satisfiability checks
when trying to process triggers. This was fixed in dpkg 1.17.17.
