Visualization shows stage failed when an exception is caught

I have a stage with a try/catch block. It attempts to copy an artifact from a previous build. If it can't, the step throws an exception which is caught and handled. In the catch block it copies it from a different location (successfully) and my pipeline continues. However, in visualization, the stage is marked as failed. I would expect that regardless of exceptions thrown, if the stage completes successfully it should be green in visualization.

This is the error that is thrown/caught:

hudson.AbortException: Unable to find project for artifact copy: null
This may be due to incorrect project name or permission settings; see help for project name in job configuration.
