Research direction

Start with the reproduction in routes/botman.php and test it by adding the BotFramework Skype bot described in the issue. Trace why the fallback callback runs after the bot is added; done means the reported Skype interaction no longer incorrectly invokes fallback, with the existing fallback response still covered.
