If you want exception information in Share then it will need to be passed back in some sort of data structure to Share. If its your web script then you have control of how errors are presented so there's no problem. And alfresco has the code to split runtime exceptions into JIRA structures that can be returned to the client app.

However full details are not normally passed back as in some situations it can be a security hole, revealing implementation details that should be private or revealing meaningless levels of detail to the end user.

Perhaps that's a weak argument but that's the way it is.
