JSF 2 Mojarra and exceptions when using Value Expression behaves unexpected - jsf-2

Question

Say a facelets has e.g 10 outputtexts bound with value expressions to 10 different fields in the bean. If exception occurs when calling the first getter, should the following 9 still be called?
Because this is the behavior I am seeing when testing this. It causes grave problems with a legacy module that has been boosted up to use JSF 2.
I am using Mojarra 2.1.16 and tried with Mojarra 2.1.6. Tried with both weld and JSF2 beans. Container is Tomcat 7.
Can this behavior be altered somehow? I can't imagine this being desired behavior.
The code I used to reproduce it below:
EDIT: This is not the production code, this simply shows the unexpected behavior.
Relevant facelet code:
<h:inputText value="#{testController.a}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.b}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.c}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.d}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.e}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.f}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.g}"></h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{testController.h}"></h:inputText>
Relevant bean code
private String a, b, c ,d, e, f, g, h;
public String getA() throws Exception {
throw new Exception();
}
public void setA(String a) {
this.a = a;
}
public String getB() {
System.out.println("b was called");
return b;
}
public void setB(String b) {
this.b = b;
}
public String getC() {
System.out.println("c was called");
return c;
}
public void setC(String c) {
this.c = c;
}
public String getD() {
System.out.println("d was called");
return d;
}
public void setD(String d) {
this.d = d;
}
public String getE() {
System.out.println("e was called");
return e;
}
public void setE(String e) {
this.e = e;
}
public String getF() {
System.out.println("f was called");
return f;
}
public void setF(String f) {
this.f = f;
}
public String getG() {
System.out.println("g was called");
return g;
}
public void setG(String g) {
this.g = g;
}
public String getH() {
System.out.println("h was called");
return h;
}
public void setH(String h) {
this.h = h;
}
