That's a good proxy for what I was envisioning...

By "the" event do you mean the error event or the rejectionhandled event?

In my mental model based on your initial mail here, the rejectionhandled 
event would get fired at the point when catch() is called, which is 
after window.onrejectionhandled is set.

We have both.  self.onerror gets first dibs at the error, and if it 
doesn't do anything to prevent the error propagating, then 
workerInstance gets an error event fired at it.

The alternative would be not letting you catch such errors via `workerInstance.onerror`, but I assume that would just complicate things and fit poorly with any telemetry frameworks that try to collect errors from both the window and any spawned workers.

Yeah, I have no good insights into what, if anything, telemetry 
frameworks do with error events on workers.
