My GDK Glassware can crash Home

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Glassware project using the GDK add-on, with a starting Service 
(let's call it "GlasswareService").
2. Create a class that implements SurfaceHolder.Callback (let's call it 
"LiveCardDrawer").
3. Introduce a fatal bug into LiveCardDrawer, such as a NullPointerException in 
surfaceCreated (just do something stupid like surfaceHolder = null; 
surfaceHolder.getSurface();).
4. In GlasswareService's onStartCommand(), call something like the following:
liveCard = timelineManager.createLiveCard(LIVE_CARD_TAG);
liveCard.setDirectRenderingEnabled(true).getSurfaceHolder().addCallback(liveCard
Drawer);
(timelineManager is an instance of TimelineInstance and liveCardDrawer is an 
instance of LiveCardDrawer.)
5. Install and run the Glassware ("ok glass, <voice-trigger>").
6. When the bug in LiveCardDrawer is reached, read the "Home has stopped" 
message like the one attached.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to see "<Name of my Glassware> has stopped" instead of "Home has 
stopped" because the latter renders my Glass useless for a few seconds as the 
entire system attempts to recover; the former just closes my app.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Glass Version 2 XE12 (developing Glassware using the GDK)

Please provide any additional information below.
Here are the logs from when the NullPointerException was encountered in 
LiveCardDrawer:
