Do script-only stacks support "chained" behaviors?

Heisenbug -- as far as I remember the last twenty minutes, the sequence of
edits was:

1. Answer commands die without warning
2. Wrap the problematic answer commands in a try...catch structure.
3. Run the command; get no error from the try, and the command runs all the
way through.
4. Comment out the try...catch structure, leaving the answer commands in
place.
5. Run the command; no errors, everything works fine.

So...something changed, obviously, but I have no idea what. Testing now...
