Check the PCGI resource file (the thing actually executed by Apache).
There is a variable that says "Hide tracebacks".

We ship it in debug mode by default to help us find installation errors.

Check out standard_error_message in the top folder.  Otherwise, I'd sure
like someone to implement:

<!--#try-->
  <!--#var some_bad_variable-->
<!--#except KeyError-->
<h3>This page referenced a bad variable.</h3>
<!--#/try-->
