Confusing results when calling run_task on undefined target

[ferki]

Describe the bug

When calling my $return = run_task $task, on => undef;, the value of $return is always 1.

(Originally reported by @sdondley via IRC, thanks!)

How to reproduce it

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Call run_task with on => undef.

Shortest code example that demonstrates the bug:

task 'abc', sub {
  return 'abc';
};

task 'run_task_undef', sub {
  my $return = run_task 'abc', on => undef;
  say $return;
};

Expected behavior

While a task's returned value might not be well-defined, it would be nice to have as consistent behavior as possible between the various calls. In this case, returning "abc" instead of 1.

Currently run_task $task, on => undef seems to execute on the same target as the calling task, which might be confusing and/or error-prone. Perhaps it's best to die() with an error message in this case.
