  Not quite the same, but possibly useful:

with Ada.Exceptions;
procedure Testte is
  task type T is
    entry A;
    entry B(I : in Integer);
    entry C;
  end;
  task body T is
    Dummy : Natural := 1;
  begin
    accept A;
    select
      accept C;
    or
      delay 3.0;
    end select;
    Dummy := Dummy - 2; -- cause exception
  exception
    when Surprise: others =>
      declare
        use Ada.Exceptions;
        Ea : Exception_Occurrence_Access := Save_Occurrence(Surprise);
      begin
        select
          accept A do Reraise_Occurrence(Ea.all);end;
        or
          accept B(I : in Integer) do Reraise_Occurrence(Ea.all);end;
        or
          accept C do Reraise_Occurrence(Ea.all);end;
        or
          terminate; -- died and nobody noticed!
        end select;
      end;
  end T;
  This : T;
begin
  This.A;
  This.C;  -- will cause This to have an internal, post-rendezvous, exception
  This.A;  -- The next call on This will get that saved exception
end Testte;
