I would not have been able to work on this problem without the the unit
tests.  The tests showed how the broken exception method is supposed
to work, so it was relatively easy to make a change to achieve the
intended behavior. Also, I wrote an additional test to document an
aspect of the behavior that I am not sure of, so someone else can
read the test and see if I am doing things right.

Even so, I am not confident yet that the fix is correct, because
the unit tests are quite simple and may not cover all the required
behavior, and because my understanding of exception handling is
not very deep.

Yes, the green bar is a very good thing :)
