There seem to be more problems with internally generated errors, as the following testcase
demonstrates:

<?php

set_exception_handler(
    function(Exception $e){ 
        echo "-- handler --\n"; var_dump($e); exit(1);
    }
);
set_error_handler(
    function($severity, $message, $file, $line) { 
        throw new ErrorException($message, 0, $severity, $file, $line); 
    }
);

try {
    require 'non-existing-file.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo "-- catch --\n";
    var_dump($e); exit(2);
}


Expected result:
Either a "classical" Fatal Error should occur or the warning for the missing file should
be converted into an exception which in turn should be caught by catch() or at least by the global
exception handler.


Actual result:
theseer@nyda ~/Desktop/Error $ php -v

The same behavior can be observed with my (relatively old) PHP 7 build:

theseer@nyda ~/Desktop/Error $ php70 -v

Hey laruence,

Sorry for the typo, I was copying the code from my real project. Should have ran it. That said,
corrected the typo and it is still behaving exactly the same:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Hello world' in
/Projects/web/test/bug.php on line 3

So far I've tested this on a machine running Mac OS X 10.8.6 and one running Windows (2012
server I think).

there is a typo in your example:

should be: echo $e->getMessage();

after fixed that, I can not reproduce the bug you were describing

Description:
------------
I've used set_error_handler to create an error handler that throws an exception when a
scripting error happens as described here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.errorexception.php

Even though I've got my commands in a try/catch block I'm getting an uncaught exception
error.

Works fine in 5.4, breaks on 5.6

Test script:
---------------
function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) {
  throw new Exception('Hello world');
}
set_error_handler("exception_error_handler");

try {
  // try loading a file that does not have exif data:
  $results = @exif_read_data('test.txt', 0, true);
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo $e-> getMessage; // "We never get here..."
};

Expected result:
----------------
Expect the echo to output our error instead of raising an uncaught exception error

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Hello world' in
/Projects/test.php on line 8
