...you mean "exit condition from the FillItems recursion," I assume.  In 
any event, it would arguably be better to not rely on an exception there 
to break the recursion.  Rather, stop once aNode does not reference an 
object implementing XHierarchicalNameAccess, by doing

However, I cannot reproduce the problem as you describe it below.  Given 
your backtrace contains "/home/efe/", I assume it is on Linux?

(What I can reproduce is the UI being unresponsive and CPU load being 
high for a very long time, see 
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70465#c9>.)
