This is because the console code calls the bundle life cycle methods and
thus catches the exception. So it prints it out.

The framework publishes the exceptions as FrameworkEvent.ERRORs which are
then captured by the log (who registered a FrameworkListener). So the
framework does not log the exceptions, per se.

I suppose, but really the console is generally manned by someone
intelligent (or at least a human :-) who has typed in some command and
then wants a success or failure indication.
Again the framework does not send the exception to the log. The bundle
lifecycle methods throw an exception and the receiver has to decide what
to do. The console implementation could decide to dump all exceptions it
encountered into the log as well as display them.
But how truly useful is this?

Try using StartLevel. By having some bundle at start level 100 for
example, when you change the start level to 99, the framework must stop
the bundle.
