You are of course completely right.  What I *should* have tried was the 
following:

 >>> def foo():
...     try:
...         yield 'bar'
...     except:
...         raise ValueError('baz')
...
 >>> g = foo()
 >>> g.next()
'bar'
 >>> g.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "<stdin>", line 5, in foo
ValueError: baz


Which works as expected.  No bug in sight.  In that case I am not sure 
what Eriks original problem was.
