no, it only means that you cant return to the original scope and continue the execution of your script. as you can't throw exceptions also, because your code is running without a stack frame. you can check out the https://github.com/Tyrael/php-error-handler its a little class which operates with register_shutdown_function to allow handling non-recoverable errors before halting. there are too many case in the php src where non-recoverable errors are triggered for non fatal problems. that should be changed, so open a bugreport if you think you found one, where isn't neccessary to halt the execution.
