There was actually a test that ensured that raising an exception A

with an instance of a derived class B would really raise an A, not a
B.  Since Barry fixed this anomalous behaviour, I though I might as
well fix the test!  (Hmm, Barry, did you not run the tests or did you
miss that test_opcodes failed?)
