The error message for uncaught exceptions is not very informative.

-------------8<----------------
Example:
$ cat exception.php
<?php
        class dummy_exception {
        }
        throw new dummy_exception;
?>

$ php exception.php

Fatal error: Uncaught exception! in Unknown on line 0
Unknown(0) : Fatal error - Uncaught exception!
-------------8<----------------

It doesn't matter whether the throw statement is in a function/class or not.

A few things which should be considered worth improving this message:
- in which file is it thrown ("Unknown" ?)
- on which line is it thrown ("0" ?)

Another small note:

No idea why it hast to be called "Uncaught exception!" with a trailing bang but reading it in a message like

Fatal error: Uncaught exception! in Unknown on line 0

doesn't fit well. 

Any plans to remove this?

<?php
        class dummy_exception {
        }
        throw new dummy_exception;
?>
^D
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'dummy_exception'! in Unknown on line 0

At least we've gotten a bit farther:)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Its informative enough :)
