Yes, that will cure it. As Jason suggests that may swallow other errors 
unless you have a discriminatory enough match, so it really depends on 
the specific example. The alternative is to have a return statement 
after the trigger_error(). If someones app. uses WACT inside a custom 
error handler, you would need to document the behaviour anyway, so that 
extra return statement may ultimately be a simplification.

I don't see an easy way out of this until we finally get exceptions.

If you really need to do that as a blanket case. This example seems 
unusual to me.
