That's necessarily so, because calling the destructor on the incomplete object might cause other troubles.
On the other hand, the destructors of all of the constructed members are called when the encapsulating object's constructor throws.
Exception-safe programming in C++ consists of a handful of guidelines that takes care of throwing from constructors.
