Well that is an extremely clear description of the problem. And,
unsurprisingly, I can't get it to fail at the interpreter or
(just in case) from within a file.

<guesswork>
Is there any possibility that there's an atexit handler or a thread
going on which is generating the other traceback? Or even a stray
__del__ or something equally bizarre? Or maybe the code's dropping
through after handling the exception to some other code which is
printing the traceback?
