When the site is offline because of database failure, custom maintenance template (maintenance-page--offline.tpl.php) will not work. There is an error stating "Additional uncaught exception thrown while handling exception." and no markup is rendered in the page at all.

This is caused when class_exists() is being called from within alpha_get_theme() and autoloading fails. I have a patch that fixes this by wrapping those calls in a try/catch block. I'm not quite what should be done in the case of an error though, so I have just done nothing.

#1 works for me in -dev (thanks!), although I'm using 7.x-3.1 in production and it won't apply cleanly. I'll just have to fudge it until the next stable release.

Shouldn't this be a higher priority than 'normal'? The output this bug is generating can cause unnecessary alarm (as if database failure weren't bad enough).

Oldy. But still apply, and still make sense. RTBC. Now without a maintainer on the branch. How do we get it committed?
