Ah!  There is a catch, but it is in DGD rather than your own code.
remove_program() is called from within a critical code section in
the driver, where an error cannot be handled normally.  Other functions
in the driver object which are handled in the same way are
runtime_error() and, in 1.1.76 and later, atomic_error().

I will add a warning message in 1.1.93, as there is for runtime_error()
and atomic_error().
