No I think you are 100% correct, I overcame the same problem by doing as I 
suggested and (mainly through ignorance) used that as a solution.

I also in certain circumstances (exceptions being thrown) get a blank page on 
production server (where display_errors) are turned off instead of the error 
or exception bubbling up and being caught and displayed by existing error and 
exception code.

I think Paul needs to throw some light on the situation, sorry I cant be of 
more help.
