These expression failures shouldn't be confused with exceptions, I think. They would probably not even be implemented that way since exceptions aren't entirely cheap and these failures would be very common.
For instance, I think that sizeof() in my example should still throw a normal exception (handled just like it is today) instead of reporting failure if it was fed zero or some other invalid type.

Sounds reasonably nice, but hard to extend to catch specific exceptions.
