The thing that bugs me is the fact that I could not find a single
situation in which error_get_last() contains a warning although an
exception was thrown other than in the DateTime example from the
original bug report.

I do not want to simply report this as a bug fix without fully
understanding its implications. In other words: why does
error_get_last() sometimes contain a warning and sometimes doesn't?!?
This is why I opened this thread, to get some insights from you guys
since you know internals much better.
