No.  All uncaught errors and timeouts get shafted to #0, but you can
compensate with a few lines of code:

@program #0.handle_uncaught_error
player = args[4][1][5];
try
  port = tonum($string_utils:explode(connection_name(player))[2]);
  listener = $list_utils:assoc(port, listeners(), 2)[1];
except (E_INVARG)
  listener = this;
endtry
if (listener != this)
  try
    return listener:handle_uncaught_error(@args);
  except (E_VERBNF)
  endtry
else
  for x in (args[5])
    notify(player, x);
  endfor
endif
.
