Issue with throwing some exception before calling proceed in interceptor

I want to create interceptor, which returns specific exception in the case of no internet connection is available. I did something like that:

public class CheckInternet implements Interceptor {
    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        if (!isAnyNetworkConnected())
            throw new NoInternetException();
        Response response;
        try {
            response = chain.proceed(chain.request());
        } catch (SocketTimeoutException | UnknownHostException e) {
            throw new NoInternetException();
        }
        return response;
    }
}

But when I throw exception before calling proceed, OkHttp will fail because HttpEngine inside is created after all interceptors in getResponse() method.

FATAL EXCEPTION: OkHttp Dispatcher
Process: de.wirecard.accept, PID: 24006
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.squareup.okhttp.Request com.squareup.okhttp.internal.http.HttpEngine.getRequest()' on a null object reference

at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1112)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587)

Is there any other option how to achieve stopping request with specific exception in onFailure() ?

In 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT is fixed.
