What happens in std::thread is that we catch the exception (at which

That was done to ensure we onform to the standard and terminate as
required.
Now that the compiler support noexcept we should use that instead and
not catch the exception, causing the runtime to call terminate without
unwinding the stack.
I'll make that change for 4.7.0
Remember this from over a year ago?
I just tried this with 4.7.2 on Fedora 17, and as far as I can tell, it
behaves just like 4.6. Did this change never happen?
I tried adding it, it didn't help. I don't remember why.
I've just discovered that noexcept does (not so) funny things with
backtraces. I'll make another post shortly. It may be the same thing.
