Hmm, yes it fits better in the sense that "break" everywhere else means "continue after the end of some surrounding block".
In this case I thought "continue" was more natural since the alternative to the default rethrow is better described as to "continue" with the normal program flow rather than "break"ing something. It also weaves better with a switch block since no labels are necessary then to tell which construct the breaks apply to.

To me it seemed clearer that "break" would be "avoid rethrow" rather then "continue"...
