But nothing in that hs_err snippet indicates that the problem is we are in the wrong state.

Thanks for clarifying. I was looking at remove_activation in the interpreter and did not see any special exception processing path.

Still struggling with this part. So the method exited normally then as part of event processing a Java upcall can raise an exception? But according to the spec any such exceptions get dropped - so is the flag just to do the dropping?
