You actually have to remove the try/catch to reproduce the problem. When
you
catch the exception, no fatal error is raised and you can see the stack
trace. If
you don't catch the exception, the PHP engine raises an E_FATAL error
which
cannot be trapped.
We use a shutdown hook and check for fatal errors so we can report the
issue, but
at that point there's no stack trace--just the file and line where the
error
occurred. It would be nice to have a similar function to
error_get_last() to get
the stack trace, such as backtrace_get_last().

I do get a trace here using your reproduce script with PHP 5.3.4RC1. So
what is the problem?

An observation from me:
A stack trace is dumped in the event of a fatal error (depending on the
error reporting level); but it's only when an uncaught exception reaches
the top of the call stack without being handled that such an error
occurs. If it is caught, then it's not an uncaught exception and
therefore not a Fatal error.

Description:
------------
Always shows stack trace when a Fatal error occurs without having to do
always something like this :
<?php
function test() {
throw new Exception;
}
try {
test();
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getTraceAsString();
}
?>
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function test() {
throw new Exception;
}
try {
test();
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getTraceAsString();
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
#0 /home/bjori/tmp/ex.php(7): test()
#1 {main}
Actual result:
--------------
nothin'
