These all seem to be gone in 5.9.beta1:

travis@travis-virtualbox:~/sage-5.9.beta1/devel/sage-main/sage$ grep -R "except:" .
./numerical/backends/glpk_backend.cpp:            /*except:*/ {
./structure/list_clone_timings_cy.c:        /*except:*/ {
./plot/plot3d/bugs.txt:        except:       # TODO -- this would catch control-C,etc. -- FIX THIS TO CATCH WHAT IS RAISED!!!!
./libs/singular/function.cpp:        /*except:*/ {

sage: len(search_src("except:",interact=False).splitlines())
0
