I'm confused, this is something else like the REQUEST.PARENTS thingy, 
isn't it?

Anyway, as Chris stated, you just have to catch the unauthorized exception:

try:
   if getattr(item[1],'index_html'):pub.append(item[1].absolute_url())
except:
   pass (or do something)


You can further qualify which exception you want to capture, I don't 
know offhand if
...
except Unauthorized:
   pass


works.
