MUCH worse would be returning from a 'finally' clause, which can cause

IMO, copy-paste reuse is the worst offense that a programmer can commit.
I agree that it's bad news.
But, I think the worst offense is this:
try {

} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
(shudder)
How lucky you've been. Have you never seen:
try {
...
} catch(Throwable t) {
// ignore
}
