oracle exception others,ORA-01013 EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS - Undokumented Behavior?

Hi!

I tried searching everywhere to find some documentation about this, but I couldn't, so I'm asking here:

As far as I can understand the Oracle Documentation EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS should catch all unhandled Exceptions!!!

But then I stumbled upon ORA-01013 which is User Cancelled... And which just slips right through WHEN OTHERSDECLARE
  e_cancelled EXCEPTION;
  PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(e_cancelled, -1013);BEGINBEGIN
    RAISE e_cancelled;
  EXCEPTIONWHEN OTHERS THEN

      -- All Exceptions should be logged here, but starting with Patch 11.2.0.4.0

       -- WHEN OTHERS is NO LONGER TRIGGERED :-o what to do???
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EXCEPTION OTHERS');END;
EXCEPTIONWHEN e_cancelled THEN

    -- The Exception has to be handled individually
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EXCEPTION CANCELLED');END;/

My research brought me to the Oracle Changelogs, which show with the latest update "ORA-01013 is not catched by WHEN OTHERS anymore"

My Question:

We use detailed error-logging and tracing in our database, catching logging and reraising all errors with "WHEN OTHERS"

is there any Setting or parameter to let the WHEN OTHERS handler catch this exception, or will I have to change hundreds

of packages to insert an additional WHEN ORA-01013 into every method???

Aside from Error-logging, what is with closing of cursors, releasing of ressources ??? Because there is no finally-block in

PL/SQL I usually use BEGIN, EXCEPTION, END like a try-catch block and cleanup after the exception block, but when

a timeout occurs, all that cleanup code will simply be skipped???
