In general, if a &return was called in a routine, we don't want any other code in exit handlers to interfere with that return from returning.
It's possible for exit handlers to escape normal control flow (e.g. via a &return). In that case instead of reaching the handler the unwind targets, we would return to the frame's return_address. To make things right, we tune the unwind target frame's return address to point to the handler. Also set that frames RETURNING flag and preserve the return value, getlexpayload can then pick it up again.
