Bug description:  echo a variable that was unset before breaks output

Description:
------------
When trying to echo an variable that was previously unset, no output at
all is shown. I wrote a small test case (see below)






Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test
{
        var $values;

        function Test() {
                $this->values = array();
        }
        
        function __get($key, &$value) {
                $value = @$this->values[$key];
                return true;
        }
        
        function __set($key, $value) {
                $this->values[$key] = @$value;
                return true;
        }
}

overload('Test');

$test = new Test();
$test->xyz = "test";
echo "<br/>1. {$test->xyz}";
unset($test->values['xyz']);
echo "<br/>2. {$test->xyz}";


Expected result:
----------------
1. test
Notice: Undefined variable: xyz in <sourcecode> on line <x>
2. 



Actual result:
--------------
Nothing. No output at all. No warning or error in log files or on screen.
Not even the echo *before* unsetting the variable shows up.
