Good catch. Yes, that will block EventLogging requests.
I don't think there's much to do about it. We could play cat-and-mouse by changing the URL of the logging endpoint, but I don't think that that would be ethical. I don't even think it's a bad thing for this rule to exist, to be honest.
The % of users this affects is probably miniscule, since EasyPrivacy is not a default subscription, AFAIK.

The version of AdBlock itself is not significant; what is significant is the filter subscription, which is a set of URL patterns and element selectors that AdBlock will block. The most popular one (and the one that is installed by default) is EasyList, and I do not see EventLogging in its list:
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt
Other filter subscriptions are listed here: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/
I checked the popular English-language ones and did not see EventLogging filtering. bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup and meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecordImpression are filtered, but the fundraising team should be aware of that already.

FWIW, I tested this quickly by going to en.m.wikipedia.org on my browser (which has Adblock Plus 1.8.8) and clicking the left nav, which I know has EventLogging attached to it on mobile web. I saw event.gif in the console, transmitting the following JSON:
- {"event":{"name":"hamburger-settings","destination":"/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileOptions&returnto=Main+Page","mobileMode":"stable","username":"Deskana
(WMF)","userEditCount":223},"clientValidated":true,"revision":5929948,"schema":"MobileWebClickTracking","webHost":" en.m.wikipedia.org","wiki":"enwiki"};:
As far as I know, I use default Adblock settings.
If you want to do some troubleshooting with my browser as a control, I am in the office chilling on the hammock, in spite of the rain [1].
Thanks, Dan
