I think this behaviour is correct. Tied method calls shouldn't consider
any context outside the method call itself. After all, the tied action
could have been invoked from almost anywhere, including somewhere deep
within XS code.
I also think the behaviour is deliberate. Magic method calls are run on a
new set of stacks, and while die etc will pop back across multiple
context stacks, pp_next etc only look at the current stack.

Britain, Britain, Britain! Discovered by Sir Henry Britain in
sixteen-oh-ten. Sold to Germany a year later for a pfennig and the promise
of a kiss. Destroyed in eighteen thirty-forty two, and rebuilt a week
later by a man. This we know. Hello. But what of the people of Britain?
Who they? What do? And why? -- "Little Britain"
