__toString()

The following code from PHPUnit stopped working after the recent changes
to __toString()

 protected function printDefectTrace(PHPUnit_Framework_TestFailure
 $defect) {
     print $defect->thrownException() . "\n";

     print PHPUnit_Runner_BaseTestRunner::getFilteredStack(
       $defect->thrownException()
     );
 }

The

print $defect->thrownException() . "\n";

line worked fine before and printed the result of

$defect->thrownException()->__toString()

Is this the intended behaviour?
