I don't know if this is the intended mechanism, but the event listener's 
function is called not only when the button is pressed, but also when 
setValue() is called.

One workaround is to temporary disable the event broadcast when calling the 
setValue() function:
gui.getController("PressMe").setBroadcast(false);
gui.getController("PressMe").setValue(0);
gui.getController("PressMe").setBroadcast(true);

Hi, this is actually a feature rather than a bug. you can disable the auto 
initialization of controllers when created by using 
controP5.setAutoInitialization(false);
