The code says that EXIT-FUN is always called.  Here is a simple test
case:

(set-transient-map emacs-lisp-mode-map nil
  (lambda () (message "!!!")))

Works as expected here: after hitting a random key I get the expected
`message'

Note that nested transient maps are handled specially: the first (or
"outer") ones wait until the newest one is gone.  Maybe you hit that
case.
