you're right - wasn't looking thoroughly enough (and only recently learned
about `ExpectedException`).
Additionally, I found out that this ignored exception was actually required
to be thrown for some of these tests while others didn't even throw it. So with
the newest changes (also rebased on top of the current `master`), the tests
actually better reflect the intended behaviour.
