Adam, thanks for the reply!
I did go to the docs and saw the return struct being proper after I posted...replied to the post. 
I am simply trying to get thru step-by-step one of Adobe's online tutorials (Build an app in an hour) that came with FlashBuilder 4. Shouldn't this all work without all this trouble and confusion (Adobe thoroughly testing)???
I appreciate your reply....it appears others are experiencing the same error as well...isn't there a fix beyond additional try/catch ideas?

I appreciate your time....
So here goes....you are asking for 'my' code (the CF code doing the calling)... Don't have any, what I am doing is using all the wizards as part of the tutorial, everything is being generated in the background.
In the lesson, you drag a grid and 2 buttons on to the workspace (create the UI). Then the next step is to "Connect to Data/Service" (in this case a CFC), using a wizard...this is the point where I am getting the errors. Here is the code from "cfexplorer.cfc" that is getting the error, :
<cffunction name="getCFCMetaData" returnType="struct" output="no" access="remote"
hint="Returns MCDL document representing the specified component.">
<cfargument name="name" type="string" required="no" />
<cfargument name="path" type="string" required="no" />
<cftry>
<cfscript>
if ( IsDefined('arguments.path') and arguments.path neq '' )
{
// we are trimming the extension if provided with path. because of
// 76373. We want to use GetComponentMetadata method as it gives advantage
// over GetMetadata, in terms of not initializing the object to get metadata.
// but Flex builder request come to call this method directly which have .cfc appended in the path.
var trimmedPath = HTMLEditFormat(arguments.path);
var indexOfCFC = FindNoCase("cfc.",reverse(trimmedPath)); // "cfc." = reverse(".cfc")
if (indexOfCFC eq 1) // trimmedPath ends with .cfc
{
trimmedPath = Left(trimmedPath, len(trimmedPath) - 4); // Remove .cfc
}
return getComponentMetaData(trimmedPath);
}
else if( isDefined('arguments.name') )
{
//This name should be a fully qualified name.
return getComponentMetaData(HTMLEditFormat(name));
}
</cfscript>
<cfcatch type="coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage$NoSuchTemplateException">
<cfoutput><h4>Component not found</h4>
The component definition file for component '#HTMLEditFormat(name)#' cannot be found on this server.</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cffunction>
Here's a picture of the error message...when I go to the URL that is listed in the error message, the next picture is the corresponding error message from CF...
So I'm not sure at this point where any of the code that is being run/generated is within FB 4., or where/what to do to try to understand and resolve the problem.
Thanks for any ideas

Yes...I had to add 'TestDrive' to the path you provided, that is the name of the flex project:
http://localhost:8500/TestDrive/services/EmployeeService.cfc
Here what I get (partial screen capture), looks like it finds it ok...it does appear to list all the component functions, 9 functions alltogether:
