How come that calling exit instead of throwing an exception still produces the old behavior?

<?php
class A {
  function __construct() {
    exit;
    echo "not reached\n";
  }
  function __destruct() {
    echo "fail\n";
  }
}
new A;

Fixed in PHP-7.1 only, because the fix causes minor BC break.

This bug is still reproducible in 5.4 with this code:

<?php

function throwme($arg)
{
    throw new Exception;
}

class foo {
  function __construct() {
    echo "Inside constructor\n";
    throwme($this);
  }

  function __destruct() {
    echo "Inside destructor\n";
  }
}

try {
  $bar = new foo;
} catch(Exception $exc) {
  echo "Caught exception!\n";
}

This produces:
Inside constructor
Caught exception!
Inside destructor

This is because the object is kept as part of "args" in the exception's 
backtrace. Better solution is needed here, the one in 
f5cf052225ff4bc5ba7fe2c8b9f0ffcd980cac6f does not solve the whole issue.
