Get-SFTPChildItem does not throw an error

The CmdLet Get-ChildItem does not throw a terminating error when the path is not found and ErrorAction = 'Stop'

try {
    Get-SFTPChildItem @sessionParams -Path '/notExstingPath' -Recurse -ErrorAction Stop
   # displays error but does not end up in the catch clause:
   # Error listing items in /notExstingPath: Exception calling "ListDirectory" with "1" argument(s): "No such file"
}
catch {
    "Oops: $_"
}

workaround

try {
    $errorMessage = $null

    Get-SFTPChildItem @sessionParams -Path '/notexsting' -Recurse -EA Stop -ErrorVariable 'errorMessage'

    if($errorMessage) {
        throw $errorMessage
    }
}
catch {
    "Oops: $_"
}

Start with the Get-SFTPChildItem cmdlet and reproduce the provided example using -Path '/notExstingPath', -Recurse, and -ErrorAction Stop. Trace how the missing-path error is emitted, then verify that the same command reaches the catch clause rather than only displaying an error.
