Description

When we upgraded to Buildbot 0.7.9 we had a status plugin break because of the new properties interface. This uncovered the bug described in the summary. I suspect Buildbot should be calling the watchers inside of a try/except block here: http://buildbot.net/trac/browser/buildbot/status/builder.py#L1677. Status plugins should probably be responsible for catching their own exceptions, but even if one goes haywire it shouldn't cause such breakage all over the place, IMHO.
