I'll let David Abrahams explain it to you. He knows quite well that
violation of "throw declaration" under the current standard doesn't
result in invocation of unexpected() at *throw point*.

Beside that, you're simply not paying attention:

"We therefore propose to deprecate C++ exception specifications in
C++0x"
