"events" module breaks awesome-typescript-loader

[ysulyma]

Minimal working example

// index.ts
import * as EventEmitter from "events";
console.log(EventEmitter);

// package.json
{
  "name": "mwe",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Minimal working example for \"events\" bug in awesome-typescript-loader and webpack",
  "dependencies": {
    "@types/events": "^3.0.0",
    "awesome-typescript-loader": "^5.2.1",
    "events": "^3.0.0",
    "typescript": "^3.6.2",
    "webpack": "^4.39.3",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.7"
  }
}

// webpack.config.js
const webpack = require("webpack");
const {CheckerPlugin} = require("awesome-typescript-loader");

module.exports = {
  entry: `${__dirname}/index.ts`,
  output: {
    filename: "output.js",
    path: __dirname,
    library: "Test"
  },

  mode: process.env.NODE_ENV,

  module: {
    rules: [
     {
        test: /\.[jt]sx?$/,
        loader: "awesome-typescript-loader",
        options: {
          configFileName: `${__dirname}/tsconfig.json`
        }
      }
    ]
  },

  plugins: [
    new CheckerPlugin()
  ],

  resolve: {
    extensions: ["*.js", ".ts"]
  }
};

// tsconfig.json
{
  "files": ["./index.ts"]
}

Steps to reproduce

Copy above files into a directory. Run

npm install
webpack --watch

This produces the output:
