If a unit test encounters an exception the processing of the unit test activity stops and PRUnit reports the test as successful. It would probably make more sense for PRUnit to assume failure if a UT activity throws and exception.

Previous description is not accurate. If an error occurs in the unit test, the test activity does continue to run, however the fact that an error occurred should lead to a fail status. It seems onerous to force developers to place transitions and StepStatusFail checks on each step.
