That is precisely how exceptions are supposed to work.

trigger_error() != exception.

Nope.  You need to use separate try/catch blocks if you need more
granularity.

try {
   try {
      do_something();
   } catch (exception $e) {
      // ignore it
   }
   do_something_else();
} catch (exception $e) {
   var_dump($e);
}
