this is the bit I don't understand.  Why does it go
into a loop?  How can the unwinder possibly know that
the original code did not have a catch-all, since we
tell it which catches there are and we say: there is
a catch-all!

This is wrong - it breaks the semantics of invoke and causes
eh to not work properly in some cases (see my email to Dale).

Ciao,
