Well this part is from apport:

OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/_usr_lib_germinate_update-metapackage.py.1000.crash'

I don't think apport should trigger any exception in an excepthook; it could perhaps print a message to stderr, but I would actually simply write nothing, just like when it catches a traceback.
