I have had a similar problem, where the code catches an exception, then if the logging level was set to debug, it logs the exception, then the exception was rethrown. Yes this was frustrating to solve, until I set my logging level to debug. It was obviously written this way for a reason, but I don't know why.

At minimum, you should include the stack trace or log message. Be aware that some behavior may be mandated by the JSF spec. In this particular case, there's not enough information to even comment on the specific problem.
