So a buggy implementation may raise and may be ignored, depending on what Exception the bug triggers -- big deal. The only time it would matter is when the implementer is debugging the implementation.

Yes but you can often, and can in this case, restrict the contents of the try block to a single operation - a name access, an attribute, a subscript - and that sharply limits the risk of such a thing happening. Sure, the object's __getattr(ibute)__ could still fail from something deep inside it missing a different attribute, but that's it.
