The only preexisting use of GIMPLE_EH_ELSE, for transactional memory commits, did not allow exceptions to escape from the ELSE path. The trick it uses to allow the ELSE path to see the propagating exception does not work very well if the exception cleanup raises further exceptions: the ELSE block is configured to handle exceptions in itself. This confuses the heck out of CFG and EH cleanups.
Basing the lowering context for the ELSE block on outer_state, rather than this_state, gets us the expected enclosing handler. Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu.
