No, you aren't confused.  When the EnhancedPatternLayout was incorporated from 
Log4j 1.x it doesn't actually do that.  In looking at the code it turns out the 
WriterAppender is formatting the throwable, not the PatternLayout.  That 
behavior isn't correct.  If you could create a Jira issue for this I'd be happy 
to add it.
