Ah - ok.  But AFAIK there is no non-local way of exiting possible.  In
wdired you are at top-level, you can only "exit" explicitly.  The
wording "exit" is a bit misleading in this context, actually you are
just switching to a (or something like a) different major mode and back.
There is no code where we could add an `unwind-protect' to - there is no
continuation executed after "exiting" wdired.

Michael.
