Stas once told me that the session_writer isn't called until after the HTTP connection is closed. Given the amount of troubles users are having with this (a cursory check of the bugs list had 15 bugs reported on it), perhaps session_writing could be done right before the connection was closed, or some of the more basic mistakes could somehow be checked before the HTTP connection is closed, or the PHP error_reporting could be redirected to HTTP logs instead of just swallowed, or... Obviously not before 4.0.4 release.
