msvcp also seems to have a bad_alloc exception (the one in msvcrt isn't 
exposed in ucrtbase, where they seem to have removed most of all the C++ 
stuff that used to be in msvcrt), so it turned out to be as simple as 
throw_exception(EXCEPTION_BAD_ALLOC, "bad allocation"); instead of 
throw_bad_alloc("bad allocation");.
