Nope...

That one doesn't look hard.  Below's a quick patch at it (not regtested).
Here's what I get:

(top-gdb) display 
2: *argv = 0x7fffffffe37c "/home/pedro/gdb/try_catch/build/gdb/gdb"
(top-gdb) p argv = 0
$2 = (char **) 0x0
(top-gdb) display 
2: *argv = <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x0>

Do I still get cookie? :-P :-)

Not sure either.  Maybe something with infcalls.  I guess
we'd have to go look at a gdb from when any error brought
you back to the top level.
