app.UseExceptionHandler("Home/Error") not going to Home/Error

Question

I created a simple Home/Error page that I can go to directly with no problem. It just returns some static HTML for now. When I change Startup.cs to this:

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
    {
        loggerFactory.AddConsole(Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
        loggerFactory.AddDebug();

        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {

            app.UseBrowserLink();
            //app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");

        }
        else
        {
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
        }

        app.UseIISPlatformHandler();
        app.UseSession();
        app.UseStaticFiles();

        app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "default",
                template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        });
    }

I would expect to get redirected to Home/Error. Instead I am getting a blank screen and if I look at the "Network" tab in Chrome Developer tools, I see a 500 Status returned from my "Home/TestException" action which throws an exception.

If I switch it to app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(), that page comes up just fine. Any ideas why this is not working?

I am using .Net Core 1.0.0-rc1-update1.

app.UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute seems to work well:

 if (env.IsDevelopment())
 {
     app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
     app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
     app.UseBrowserLink();
 }
 else
 {
     app.UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute("/Home/Error");
 }
