Do you get that exception dialog when you run the executable out of the 
IDE environment?

I mean, maybe the exception is handled inside indy10, so it is not 
propagated to the level of your except block. My theory is that the 
exception dialog is raised by Lazarus environment whenever an exception 
is raised, handled or not, and if you click "continue", then Indy10 
handles it.
