 New Comment:

I don't see anything wrong here.
With "$b = new Child(); $a = new Master( $b );" the second line does
not get executed, of course you won't see any of Master methods
called.
But "$a = new Master( new Child() );" is totally different case -
Master::__construct() is called, you don't see the output because the
exception is thrown just before you print it.

Description:
------------
It is possible for PHP to call the __destruct() on an 
object allthough __construct() was never called. This 
seems to happen when having nested object creations and 
the inner one throws and exception in the constructor.

The attached reproducable code shows the problem:
Child::__construct() [Child]
Master::__destruct() [Master]

If the last line is changed to:
$b = new Child(); $a = new Master( $b );

it works of course.


In general destructors should never be called if the 
constructor was not called or even if it did not finish.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Master {
    public function __construct( $child ) {
        echo __CLASS__, "::__construct() [", get_class( $this ),
"]\n";
    }
    public function __destruct() {
        echo __CLASS__, "::__destruct() [", get_class( $this ), "]\n";
    }
}
class Child {
    public function __construct() {
        echo __CLASS__, "::__construct() [", get_class( $this ),
"]\n";
        throw new Exception( "Child failure" );
    }
    public function __destruct() {
        echo __CLASS__, "::__destruct() [", get_class( $this ), "]\n";
    }
}
$a = new Master( new Child() );


Expected result:
----------------
Child::__construct() [Child]


Actual result:
--------------
Child::__construct() [Child]
Master::__destruct() [Master]
