asyncio does not always show the full traceback

I have narrowed it down a bit.

Here is a fairly simple example, based on some code I had lying around -

import asyncio
from itertools import count

async def aenumerate(aiterable):
    counter = count()
    async for x in aiterable:
        yield next(counter), x
        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)

async def gen(n):
    for i in range(100, 100+n):
        yield i

async def aenum():
    g = gen(5)
    async for a, x in aenumerate(g):
        print(a, x)
    print('done')

async def main():
    await aenum()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

If you run this as is, it works.

I added '1/0' at various points, to force an exception.

If I put it in main() or in aenum(), I do not get the full traceback.

If I put it in aenumerate() or in gen(), I do get the traceback.

I hope this enables someone cleverer than me to figure out what is going on.
