I'm not sure about that. The kind of code needed
to cause a problem would be something like

   def i_refuse_to-die():
     while 1:
       try:
       	yield 42
       except GeneratorExit:
         pass

which looks more like a plain infinite loop than
anything involving recursion, so I think getting
a RecursionError would be more confusing than
helpful.
