[BUG] Error messages from threads inside of another process error in the display

[ChrisRackauckas]

using Distributed
addprocs(2)
@everywhere using Base.Threads
pmap(1:2) do i
    @threads for i in 1:10
        error()
    end
end

causes

I'm seeing that same issue outside of Juno:

julia> using Distributed

julia> addprocs(2)
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3

julia> @everywhere using Base.Threads

julia> pmap(1:2) do i
           @threads for i in 1:10
               error()
           end
       end
