named-placeholder exceptions crashes entire app, regardless of catch statement

First if all, if this is is better suited for an issue at the named-placeholder repo, let me know and I'll change it.

What happens:
When the named-placeholders module throws an exception when executing a query inside a promise/async function, the error ignores any catch statements and crashes the entire application.

When is happens:
I'm not sure if this happens for all errors, but it happens in the folowing scenario, where I accidentally tried to use an empty array as query parameters.

async function execute(query, params) {
    const formattedQuery = mysql.format(query, params);
    return await pool.execute(formattedQuery);
}

try {
    const query = "REPLACE INTO performance_data SET ?";
    const params = [];
    const response = await execute(query, params);
} catch (error) {
    // Won't get called, app just crashes
    console.error("Error:", error);
}

The full stack trace is:

C:\Users\toblo\Code\performance-app\backend\node_modules\named-placeholders\index.js:95
      throw new Error('Named query contains placeholders, but parameters object is undefined');
      ^

Reproduce the async query example with an empty parameters array, then read named-placeholders/index.js around toArrayParams and compile, followed by mysql2/lib/connection.js and mysql2/lib/pool.js at the stack-trace locations. Determine why the thrown error bypasses the surrounding catch and add a regression test showing that the promise rejects normally and the application does not crash.
