The prohibition is on yield statements in the try section of a
try-finally statement.  The posted code is fine.

(This is prohibited because there is no guarantee that execution
will ever return to the generator after the yield -- the caller
might never call .next() again -- and so the finally block might
never be executed.  This was judged too grave a violation of
try/finally's semantics to permit.)
