This used to happen with channel.send where exception instances
sent were raised on the other side.  I do not recall why it was removed
and am unable to find out why with a search of the mailing list archives.

Christian, do you recall why this was not supported when you made
these changes?  I have a feeling that it was a specific decision for
some good reason.
