  AFAIK, it's a feature:

,----[ C-h f eval-expression RET ]
| eval-expression is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
| It is bound to M-:, M-ESC :.
| (eval-expression eval-expression-arg &optional
| eval-expression-insert-value)
| 
| [...]
| 
| If `eval-expression-debug-on-error' is non-nil, which is the default,
| this command arranges for all errors to enter the debugger.
| 
| [back]
`----

  « for _all_ errors ».
