This may indeed deserve to be reported as a proper TracError instead of an internal error, as the source of the problem is external to Trac itself.

But maintenance for 0.11.x is closed, so first we have to check if this still happens in 0.12.x.

Moved ticket assigned to next-stable-1.0.x since maintenance of 1.0.x is coming to a close. Please move the ticket back if it's critical to fix on 1.0.x.
