function intercepts execution of code that is not executed

Test script:
---------------
<?php
declare(ticks=1);

function my_function() {

    echo print_r(debug_backtrace(), 1) . '<br/>';
    
}

register_tick_function('my_function', true);

$t = false;
$ar = ['test1' => '111'];

var_dump('->' . __METHOD__ . ' on ' . __FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);

foreach ($ar as $k => $e) {
    
    $t = ($k === 'test2');
    
    var_dump('$t==='. var_export($t, 1));
    
    if ($t===false) {
        continue;
    }
    
    var_dump('this line code is not executed (execute "continue")');
    
    test2();
    test3();    // this will handled or ..
    // test4(); // uncomment this and this will handled (but function not exist)
}

var_dump('->' . __METHOD__ . ' on ' . __FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);

function test2() {
    // this never handled (why? =))
    return 1;
}

function test3() {
    var_dump('->' . __METHOD__ . ' on ' . __FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}

Because the very first thing that happens when execution enters the function is that execution immediately leaves the function. And as documented, "not all statements are tickable".
 [2019-06-26 14:30 UTC] lozinskiy dot artem at gmail dot com 
But why on line 30 this function executed?
After all, up to 30 lines the cycle must be completed and the code will not be executed further.

Whatever the actual magical process is behind ticks, I don't think there's a bug here.

Look at https://3v4l.org/hneib/vld#output to see exactly what PHP is doing with the code.

>> Whatever the actual magical process is behind ticks, I don't think there's a bug here.
Seriously, I made a convenient code analysis for myself using this function, but because of this there is no bug, as you said, I cannot trust this analysis, for me this is a bug and a problem, besides, only here is this behavior, and how can catch or identify this moment? How can I determine that the function has been correctly reversed here and not here?

for example see this code

<?php
declare(ticks=1);
function my_function() {
    echo print_r(debug_backtrace(), 1) . '<br/>';
}
register_tick_function('my_function', true);
$t = false;
$check = ['a'];
foreach ($check as $e) {
    $t = false;
    if ($t===false) {
        break; // break;
    } else {
        delete_db(); // =)
    }
}
function delete_db() {}
---

analysis show me that execute delete_db, and this is problem
I see that in the alpha version of php 7.4 there is no such problem, all of a sudden, it pleases, here now to get a patch for php 7.1

PHP 7.1 is no longer actively supported[1] (it receives only
security fixes).  Does this issue also happen with any actively
supported PHP version?

Yes, on versions 7.2-7.3, this problem persists.
