As I recall, socket.try() encapsulates the emsg in a table before
throwing it, and socket.protect() checks if the error is a table. If
it is, it assumes it was raised by try(), unwraps it, and returns
nil,emsg. Otherwise it just reraises it.

Could it be that copas's definition of socket.protect is not quite right?
