OK, the actual flag I needed was :handle_parse_errors as opposed to
:handle_exception, or :handle_parser_errors (that one's in the RDocs on
the ferret trac). Calling acts_as_ferret like so did the trick:
acts_as_ferret({:fields => {:field => {:store => :compressed}}},
{:handle_parser_errors => true})
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was going to submit a
patch to the docs but it looks like you've fixed it already in the
trunk.
Jim
