Could we potentially make use of the exception stack here now?
catch
close(chnl)
retval = Base.ExceptionStack(Any[capture_exception(ex...) for ex in current_exceptions()])
end

Research direction
Start by locating the exception-handling entry points for Distributed and asyncmap, then compare how they currently use CapturedException with the suggested ExceptionStack approach. Done means both relevant paths use ExceptionStack consistently and their existing tests still pass.
