I remember that we made improvements to generating line numbers in console messages more reliably a couple years ago, but I guess there are still edge cases?

[Joseph Pecoraro]

This unhandled promise rejection gets line numbers from Exceptions. Here it looks like the exception itself is changing so apparently the new exception doesn't have line number information associated with it.

claim is not supported yet.
Hopefully, when it gets implemented, flakiness might disappear.

We could use DumpConsoleLogInStdErr to make the test stable but this is probably not worth it right now.
