TtRenderer plugin won't build under Mojolicious 3.05

[gmorten1]

the latest version 1.21 of Mojolicious::Plugin::TtRenderer fails install tests under 3.05 but it passes under 3.01
with the environment otherwise identical (through the magic of perlbrew), perl 5.14.2

from .cpanm/build.log...

Failed test '500 Internal Server Error'

at t/lite_app.t line 50.

got: '404'

expected: '500'

sebastian speculated on the mailing list:

My bet would be on bad tests failing because of this bug fix, but you
should really open a ticket for this.

mojolicious/mojo@74a80a0

yeah, makes sense. also, if i --force the install it seems to work ok, and passes my app-specific tests

this isn't just a test problem. any lite app that throws an exception in a .tt template appears to render the exception page correctly but returns a 404 status rather than 500.

the issue only occurs in lite apps (not full Mojolicious apps) and only with versions newer than Mojolicious 3.02

to duplicate:

use Mojolicious::Plugin::TtRenderer;
plugin 'tt_renderer' => {template_options => {PRE_CHOMP => 1, POST_CHOMP => 1, TRIM => 1}};
get '/tt_bad' => 'tt_bad';

@@ tt_bad.html.tt
in tt_good [% h.bogushelper('foo') %]

Returning 1 instead of 0 in the case of error makes the test pass, and it seems to do the right thing.
