Autonomous procedure falsely committing?

The following code and session output (I think) documents a condition where a procedure marked for an automomous commit is commiting an INSERT over a database link that is outside of its transactional boundry. In a nutshell, my INSERT is committing when it shouldn't, *only* in situations where I have an autonomous transaction, *and* I have an error handler that doesn't gracefully rollback the transaction. My test case:

--setup only - the actual test run is further down create table cca_autonomous_commit_test_9i (

	id number,
	creation_date date

create or replace procedure autonomous_insert is

        PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION; begin         

--insert into local database table

	insert into cca_autonomous_commit_test_9i values ( 1 ,sysdate );
	commit;

end;
/

create or replace procedure dloomis_test

is

begin

--reset environment

	delete from cca_autonomous_commit_test_8i_at_xxcts_sjoe_ccais;
	delete from cca_autonomous_commit_test_9i;
	
	commit;
	


	--insert over database link.


	insert into cca_autonomous_commit_test_8i_at_xxcts_sjoe_ccais values (

--call my autonomous procedure, which should *NOT* commit the record
above

        autonomous_insert;

--raise error, for testing purposes only
        raise NO_DATA_FOUND;         

end;
/

--the test output
Session 1:

--Execute dloomis_test, which should throw no_data_found by design:

SQL> exec dloomis_test
BEGIN dloomis_test; END;

*
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "APPS.DLOOMIS_TEST", line 20
ORA-06512: at line 1

Session 2 - everything looks ok:

SQL> select count(*) from cca_autonomous_commit_test_9i;

  COUNT(*)

         1

SQL> select count(*) from
cca_autonomous_commit_test_8i_at_xxcts_sjoe_ccais;

  COUNT(*)
