Additional examples:
try {
    eval('ttt();');
    echo 'OK';
} catch (Error $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();  // "Call to undefined function ttt()"
}
exit(0);

Actual result:   "Call to undefined function ttt()".
Expected result: "Call to undefined function ttt()".

try {
   eval('ttt();');
   echo 'OK';
} catch (Error $e) {
   echo $e->getMessage();
   throw $e;  // Connection reset by peer => 502 Bad Gateway
}
exit(0);

Actual result:   Connection reset by peer => 502 Bad Gateway.
Expected result: Throwing an exception with message "Call to undefined function ttt()".

Conclusion: an exception is thrown, but if it is not caught, the php process crashes.

What do you mean with "crash" – a segfault?  The code is supposed
to issue a fatal error[1]; I would expect that to produce a 500
Internal Server Error, but I don't know about FPM, and your exact
setup.

Yes. But this is an xdebug bug, not php bug.
