IntlDateFormatter fatal error in PHP 8.1.26

[randeraad]

Description

Related to: #12282

In PHP 8.1.24 it was possible to use IntlDateFormatter with an invalid locale: IntlDateFormatter::create('xx');
In PHP 8.1.25 the same code would fail and throw an exception.
In PHP 8.1.26 the exception is no longer thrown, but the object is unconstructed and using it generates a fatal error.

$obj = IntlDateFormatter::create('xx');
$obj->getCalendar(); // Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Found unconstructed IntlDateFormatter

How can we check if the IntlDateFormatter object is constructed without generating a fatal error?

Would it work if you try/catch as ?

try {
    $obj = IntlDateFormatter::create('xx');
    $obj->getCalendar();
} catch (\Error $e) {
    ...
}

Thank you, catching the error works. I tried catching the exception and that failed.
