[issue15435] Strange behavior when AttributeError raise inside a property get function

Yup. It's unfortunate, but there's really nothing we can do about it - some protocols use exceptions, and if you raise an exception type that is part of the defined protocol as the result of a genuine error, then you're going to have a fun debugging exercise to deal with.

You'll often see a similar misdiagnosis with TypeError in conversion functions that try several different conversion techniques.
