In other words, the problem changed when you added the NameError
trigger at the bottom of the script?

Would it be possible to snapshot all critical globals with a closure,
to force them to be held? Something like:

def handler_gen(mylogger, sys):
    def my_error_handler(type, value, tb):
        msg = "Uncaught %s: %s" % (type, value)
        mylogger.exception(msg)
        sys.__excepthook__(type, value, tb)  # print the traceback to stderr

# Install exception handler.
mylogger.info('installing error handler')
sys.excepthook = handler_gen(mylogger, sys)

It seems crazy, but it might work. It's a guaranteed one-way
connection, saying "this function NEEDS these objects".
