render does not reject when rendering fails

I would have expected this test to pass, but it fails with “expected not to get here” in addition to an out-of-band qunit failure for the actual Compiler Error: not-a-component is not a helper.

test('render can throw', async function(assert) {
  try {
    await render(hbs`{{not-a-component x="y"}}`);
  } catch (err) {
    assert.ok(/not-a-component is not a helper/.test(err.message), "expected to see failure");
  }
  throw new Error("expected not to get here");
});

I’ve started a PR to finally fix this: #1194. I would appreciate your thoughts!

Any news about this? After more than 2 years?
