i am not sure whether i understood your question correctly.

returning to deopt_entries with pending exception is not allowed in 
present code.

going directly to  rethrow_exception_handler with pending exception too 
is not expected in present code for normal conditions.

my latest fix is a special case. and handles pending_exception 
gracefully. so its fine i guess.

i went with this approach, as uncomon_trap has no means to throw 
exception without a platform change.
