does Encode::FB_WARN() / Encode::WARN_ON_ERR() / Encode::FB

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

does Encode::FB_WARN() / Encode::WARN_ON_ERR() / Encode::FB_QUIET() die for you?

#!/usr/bin/perl -l --
use Encode ;
print $Encode::VERSION;
decode(q/UTF16-LE/, $f=qq/\xff\xff/, Encode::FB_QUIET() );
print 'bye';
__END__
2.51
UTF-16LE:Unicode character ffff is illegal at .../site/lib/Encode.pm l
+ine 176.

Yes, Encode::FB_WARN, Encode::WARN_ON_ERR, and Encode::FB_QUIET all produce fatal errors for me. But FB_DEFAULT does not:

23:20 >perl -MEncode -le "print $Encode::VERSION; decode( q/UTF16-LE/,
+ $f = qq/\xff\xff/, Encode::FB_DEFAULT() ); print 'bye';"

bye
