Your report certainly indicates a bug from the VMS perspective
(presumably the Ada standard is silent on the issue of interaction
with the CLI in the face of a program aborting).

Of course ACT has a mailing address for taking bug reports even
from non-supported users.

In the meantime, however, you could establish an outer level handler
to detect unhandled exceptions and call the $EXIT system service with
a VMS error code.
