I've adding the missing exceptions and a testcase (that reproduces your
bug and confirms this change fixes it), and made a new Search::Xapian
1.2.25.3 release.  I've uploaded it to CPAN (might take a little while
to be available from there) and our website.

That won't change what's in the Ubuntu repos for 18.04 though, so you
probably do need to modify your testcase for now.
