Ah. Then the scripts are acting the way they're supposed to.
You have a runtime error in the preopenstack handler, the exception
was caught by the calling procedure. You're done with the preopenstack
handler because there's a runtime error in it. If you want to continue
you need to have the actual error statement in a try/catch construct.
You should have no problem continuing the script of the stack the
issues the open stack command, but you can't continue the called stack
the way you have it set up.

on preopenstack
 try
   -- put the stuff with the runtime error here
 catch e
   -- if you want to deal with the error, do it here
 finally
   -- here's where the continuation code goes
 end try
 -- or you could put code here as well
end preopenstack
