Research direction

Start by reproducing the error in the debugger's "Variables" pane using HHVM 4.62 on macOS Catalina, then compare it with inspecting variables from the debug console. Trace the internal error to its reported source; done means the Variables pane displays variables without the error while debug-console inspection continues to work.
