It's not a different problem, my whole point was that letting exceptions bubble is not a universally acceptable policy. Sometimes you want to bubble, sometimes you want to wrap, and sometimes you want to wrap with information hiding to avoid leaking information.

It should be. It should bubble to whatever boundary you have (web API, event loop, etc). At that boundary, if it's not supposed to leak information then don't. Do whatever sanitation you need at one point only. Good use of exceptions should have as few "catch" blocks as possible.
