Description:
------------
If exception is throwed with error suppression (@) and catched by try/catch block error_reporting will fall to 0

Reproduce code:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

echo "1. error_reporting = " . error_reporting() . "\n";

function make_exception()
{
    throw new Exception();
}

try {
    @make_exception();
} catch (Exception $e) {}

I'm not sure if we can qualify this as a bug actually. But atleast I can offer an explanation. If you use @ the error reporting level will be set to 0 before an expression (make_exception()) and set's it back to the original value after it. Because the throwing of the exception immediately jumps to the catch block, the error reporting level is not reset back to it's old value. I'm not sure how easy this is to fix.

Dmitry, could you check it plz?

The fix is near impossible with current implementation.
May be it could be fixed in future version of PHP with try/funally. BTW, we decide not to include try/finally into PHP 5.1.
