For better or for worse, Dalvik was changed long ago to ignore exception priorities. We get exception messages for NPEs and save branches. The full set of deltas are here:

I don't believe it has any value and therefore we're imposing an unnecessary constraint on our code. Does anyone have a real world example, (perhaps a bugreport) demonstrating where exception priority incompatibility has caused grief?
