I agree it's a bug and should be fixed. It's too confusing that there would be two slightly different interpretations of isinstance/issubclass where the isinstance() and issubclass() would be using the extended interpretation but the except clause would use the narrow interpretation. The exception matching done by the except clause ought to be explainable in terms of issubclass/isinstance.
