PHPDbg misidentifies uncaught exception when exception is not yet loaded

[rrehbein]

Description

The following code:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

try {
    throw new RuntimeException();
} catch (LibrarySpecificException) {
    // A library specific exception. Not autoloaded since it did not happen.
} catch (RuntimeException) {
    echo "Caught it. 'handled' it\n";
}

When run via php or phpdbg -qrr Resulted in this output:

Caught it. 'handled' it

But when run via phpdbg -r resulted in output:
