The code is plain incorrect. I was debugging it and hence
hit the decompiler bug, because “toggle halt on entry” effects
the browser to try to decompile it (which is fine).
  My working implementation is now this:

retryOnce: aTryBlock
	| again |
	again := true.
	[^ aTryBlock value.
	] on: Error do: [:e |
		((e isKindOf: NetworkError) or: [again not])
			ifTrue: [e pass]
			ifFalse: [again := false. e retry]].
