My understanding is that exit "magically" transfers control into the finally block before exiting the procedure. However to state the obvious, in this fragment

begin // Start of procedure/function
 try
   ...
   if something then
     exit;
   ...
 except
   ...
 end
end;

control doesn't go via the except block.

That is as designed. There is no exception, so no need to go in the exception.

Is there a single place in the documentation where this sort of behaviour is described and prioritised, taking into account interfaces etc.?

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse103.html#x214-22400017.3

What does 'taking into account interfaces' have to do with exceptions ?
They are unrelated.
