Ah wait a second, you're right - I've been looking in the wrong place. 
It looks like there is still some (old) pgsql2shp code which hasn't been 
updated to use the new error handling, and hence it doesn't get 
propagated back up to the main function correctly :(  Will fix later, as 
I have to head out now.
