The basic problem is that the stack traceback at the time of catching
is not the same as the stack traceback at the time of throwing,  which
may be not be the same as the stack traceback at the time the exception
object was created.

Once you've started unwinding, the original context gets lost.  We're
working on a couple mechanisms to keep (some) historic context around,
while unwinding, for debugging purposes.
