seems like
Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Serialization of 'SplFileInfo' is not allowed'
has to be related.

Should be documented somewhere somehow :/

Yet as another bug: unserializable objects lead to unexpected results when put in session instead of producing any warning or exception.

No bug here, it is not allowed nor supported to serialize SplFileInfo instances.

Would be lovely to have any warning saying that
when the system attempts to perform serialization for objects not supporting that

SPL raises exception, catching them sounds like a good plan.
