I feel that invoking such high level functionality from an exception handler is risky, but I do understand this is a last resort / best effort action, and if it *happens* to work on systems with no serial, then it's already a win. However, I'd suggest improving the robustness by preserving the serial write first, and then performing the (optional) console write in addition, second. I guess it can lead to the message appearing twice on serial (if the console is available, and it happens to be multiplexed to the serial port as well), but I think that's a better compromise than possibly losing the message altogether. I don't feel strongly about it either way, I just thought this worth raising.
