I hit the same breaking change in DWT. The implementation is a bit different there compared to Tango [1]. The implementation actually catches the SyncException and is supposed to interrupt the current thread. But “Compatibility.interrupt” is not implemented because the original author never figured out how to port that from Java [2].
