Is this possible?  Wouldn't this mean that the panel would have to be 
implemented in NSException-raise as opposed to creating it as an 
exception handler?  Currently, by the time the panel is created, the 
previous stack position is lost, correct?

What I do when I get a wild exception and have no idea where it's 
coming from, I just add a category:

@implementation NSException (TemporaryDebugHack)
- (void)raise
{
    // Whatever you want here...
    // sometimes I put asm("int3") here, because on 386
    // that causes a breakpoint in gdb.
}
@end

Obviously this is not advisible in production code.  :-)
