This is really interesting. Presumably what happens is that an exception is indeed thrown and then raised in the thread after the final action. Now if you synchronously throw an exception at the end it looks like it's raised before the asynchronous exception is raised. Hopefully one of the GHC devs (probably Simon Marlow) can confirm this behavior and shed some more light on it.
