I'll let Avi address this.  I think it's fine...

I think this behavior can be expected since Seaside wraps your callback 
handling in an error handler.  So, in non-deployment mode you have the 
equivalent of this:

[ [1/0] ensure: [Transcript show: 'err1'; cr] ] on: Error do: [:ex | 
Transcript show: 'err2'; cr]

Notice that err2 prints first.  That's basically what you're seeing in 
Seaside. Tthe equivalent of show: 'err2' is that the Seaside error 
handler, WAWalkbackErrorHandler, is starting a new render loop to render 
the stack trace page.  Basically you are still inside the do: argument 
block until you debug the app.  Then you exit that block and ensure: 
does its work.  My guess (completely untested) is that if you switch to 
deployment mode you'll see your ensure block run as expected.
