Yeah, I glossed over the Rust stack overflow case. I don't know why: Literally two parent comments up I did bother to mention it.
That said, I actually entirely forgot Go catches nil derefs in a segfault handler. I guess it's not a big deal since Go isn't really suitable for free-standing environments where avoiding CPU exceptions is sometimes more useful, so there's no particular reason why the runtime can't rely on it.
