Hmm. My online help (v 5.2) states that

Calling CATCH establishes an error handler for the current
procedure that intercepts all errors that can be handled
by IDL, excluding non-fatal warnings such as math errors.

The key phrase here is *non-fatal* warnings. Type conversion
"errors" don't halt the program flow (they never have), and
are thus not "fatal".

In my view, that makes it a real (even documented) feature :-)
