This wouldn't be needed if dies_ok didn't exist.
I think the arguments in favor of dies_ok are good. But, I think it
would be better to return the $@ rather than trying to preserve it.

This breaks the convention that Test::More of test methods returning
the test failure status so you can have things like:
lives_ok { $o->fribble } or diag "Hmmm... unexpected failure",
Dumper( $o );
I quite like this, and it's too late to change anyway :-)
