The site-wide error handler in CFAdmin should catch all errors, even compile-time errors (a syntax error, in this case). The problem is if your site-wide error handler has an error in there, then you're out of luck. It's a good idea to have your site-wide handler to be just a static file, or a very basic file that should avoid erroring out. Common errors that happen on the site-wide error handler is when referencing error variables, because they don't exist for all error types (like error.message)
Ray Camden has a very good article and very long discussion on Error Handling at http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/12/5/The-Complete-Guide-to-Adding-Error-Handling-to-Your-ColdFusion-Application That CF livedoc link that Charlie Griefer sent should be required reading for everyone, and has a lot of information on handling errors.
