If a callback registered with pageModifications throws, and it is not an async function, onBeforeRepaint will throw and the entire set of callbacks remaining in the queue will not be executed. This means that a bug in a feature could become visible to the user as an entirely different feature not functioning, resulting in their bug report being very difficult to find the root cause of.

This, as they say in the business, Bad.

Only vaguely related: #1001 (in a vague sense the opposite of that PR in a number of ways, actually)

This should probably be done for other parts of the extension too.
