I develop from a debugging environment (WingIDE) so instead of looking
at the WebKit-generated traceback for the servlet, my dev environment
gives it to me (correctly).

When I run in production, I don't use AutoReload.

So this problem doesn't affect me. I do remember experiencing it back
when I didn't develop out of an IDE. My impression was that it was a
bug in Python since the servlet's module *is* getting reloaded. Maybe
if you can recreate the issue in a small standalone example, you can
ask comp.lang.python for help.
