I'm strongly in favour of Georg's one ("Exception in __del__ caught and not
propagated").
Why?
It says simply and clearly what has happened.
It denotes the relevant context (__del__) in which it happened.
The reader can then decide to find out why that decision may have been made.
Why not MRAB's? ("Cannot propagate exception...")
While better than "Unpropagatable exception" and "unraisable" and
"unreraisable", it has the same flaw that I think underlies Antoine's
concerns: it suggests the reason there's an error printed instead
of further propagation is a _property of the exception_.
It doesn't say it outright, but as an outsider that is definitely
what I would at first infer.
So: a small +0.1 for "Cannot propagate exception..."
And: a big +2 for "Exception in __del__ caught and not propagated:".
