I do not believe the latter case is permitted.

I understand that an attempt has been made to
allow a caught exception (dynamically)
in the body of a destructor, but as far as I can
see this attempt has failed (I certainly
haven't seen a coeherent model for this
presented in a paper).

(that is, the working paper either contradicts itself
at present, or is terminologically muddled, or both :-)
