What happened is that your version failed to pass an error exception upwards
after fielding it.  My test case was a buggy version of cmlconfigure.py, bug
since fixed.

Cleanliness is good, but the code has to work first.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence
of the improbable...A man full of faith is simply one who has lost (or
never had) the capacity for clear and realistic thought. He is not a
mere ass: he is actually ill.
