Hi Scott, I have also found cross Script Unit Exceptions catchable so it is not just your test system.
However, I have found they are not always caught, dependent on where they are thrown.

2. If an Exception is nested, i.e. is thrown within an Object, Closure based Module or Script Extension, it cannot be caught.
Unfortunately, as I want to use a single Exception handling pattern that works in any situation, I am still using messaging between Script Units to handle Exceptions instead of try catch.
