Don't continue with testing if an extension crashes
Use logger.exception to format current traceback in an error

(As mentioned a few times to you already) Please consider creating separate pull requests for orthogonal changes - simply because each can be reviewed and iterated on independently.

Regarding the functional change: a very important design choice / feature of colcon is that a single extension (which can be provided by any package) does rarely result in a fatal error of the tool. In as many cases as possible colcon tries to be resilient, logs the error, but continue to perform the requested operation. Therefore I don't think patch is the right approach to resolve #321.
