Shutdown functions are not called when exit is called from output handler

Test script:

register_shutdown_function(function() {

We've been trying to figure out why Sentry doesn't fire in AMP and arrived at the same conclusion - lack of the register_shutdown_function call when in ob_, which is used by AMP.

Please see https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-php/issues/927 and https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/3825.

If any PHP core devs would chime in, that'd be great.

Thank you.

I cannot reproduce this; I get (PHP-7.3 and -7.4 on Windows, and
PHP-7.4 on Debian):

Fatal error: ob_flush(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers

So, apparently, the shutdown handler is executed.  What am I
missing?

https://3v4l.org/ZoBJs - "shutting down" text is not printed

Well, yes, for PHP 8.0, but you specified that this is about PHP
7.3.9.

The issue is also in PHP 7.3 and 7.4, only the result is different.

Handler of ob_start should be called without any limitation and the output should be handled once the handler ends.
