Caught expected exception, Error is still rendered (SoapClient)

I wish to gracefully fail connecting to a Soap source.

Here's a simple test:

class TestController extends AppController {

    public function get_soap_stuff(){

        $address = "http://noneexisteenat.com/wsdl.wsdl";

        try {

            @$client = new SoapClient($address, array('exceptions' => true));

            $this->set('result', 'OK');

        }

        catch(SoapFault $e){

            trigger_error("Soap address $address unreachable", E_USER_NOTICE);

            $this->set('result', 'address unreachable');

        }

    }

}

The view only has  <?php debug($result); ?> in it.

I am expecting to see "address unreachable" nicely debugged in my layout and a Warning message (if in debug mode).

What actually happens:
The ErrorHandler prints out a

Fatal Error
Error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://noneexisteenat.com/wsdl.wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://noneexisteenat.com/wsdl.wsdl"
File: C:\srv\zmt\app\Controller\TestingController.php
Line: 16

AFTER my nicely printed-out layout. The layout is actually printed out twice, once for my view and once for the ErrorHandler.

How can I STOP the ErrorHandler from printing out (it happens in App::shutdown() => App::_checkFatalError()).
