If you turn off html_errors in php.ini, this issue should be gone.

PHP only has one output stream (Stdout), so that one works. stderr does
not. As for notifications, they are meant for non-debugging related
events - sort of out-of-band things only. Error messages can be catched
by setting proper exception breakpoints:

breakpoint_set -i 1 -t exception -x Notice
breakpoint_set -i 2 -t exception -x Warning
breakpoint_set -i 3 -t exception -x Error
etc.
