The GIME definitely handles this. And I used MMU blocks in a processes' 64K memory map are mapped to the same (unallocated/unused) MMU block (so if your program goes nuts and starts writing beyond its allocated data area, it will only clobber 1 8K MMU block out of the entire system (well, unless you overwrite your own program, vector page RAM, and/or I/O area, of course).
(If I remember correctly, MMU block $3E is the default "unused" block that is mapped in to all unused blocks in a process)
