It seems be this issue:

	http://bugs.python.org/issue1739842

Your handler in the server thread correctly catches the RuntimeException
and converts into a Fault object which it returns.  Unfortunately,
xmlrpclib then throws an exception instead of marshalling the Fault
object.  Your server catches the exception and turns it into a 500
HTTP server error.  The client thread then throws a ProtocolError,
which is uncaught.

So exceptions are working fine in your test case, the problem is that
xmlrpclib.dumps() can't marshall xmlrpclib.Fault objects in 2.5.
