G++ 2.7.X exception handling has many problems.  It doesn't work
reliably with optimization.  Some might say it doesn't work reliably
at all.  Feel free to submit a bug report to the FSF, but its a well
known problem.

Mike Stump has done a lot of work in this area, and it's hoped that
future versions of G++ will not have these problems.
