Comment(by danw):

 This is not related to #3272.

 Replying to [comment:14 bert]:
 > The original bug title was "Sugar shell does not detect failure to
 launch activities" which still applies.

 Hm... it seems to notice failure in most cases but not all of them.
 Depends on exactly where the launched app fails I guess.

 > Besides, there is no proper spec what the create() call should do in a
 failure case.

 Yeah, but there are lots of things that aren't documented for non-sugar-
 based activities, and the general rule is that sugar.activity's behavior
 is normative.

 But in this case, that behavior isn't sufficiently robust.
