I've found that if the update fails for some reason I
get kicked out to the default catalyst error screen.
So I guess you need the eval.  Not sure though, but
that's what I do and it seems to work.

However finds and search seem to return something that
evaluates to false if they don't return results, so I
can do:

$c->model->find({id=>$query}) ||
$c->response->redirect('/errors/not_found');

Not sure if that is the best thing to do, but it's
worked for me :)
