open_timeout seems to be blocking

I've got a needle request to a service that sometimes takes a long time to respond, occasionally exceeding the open_timeout limit of 10 seconds. However, when it does so, no error is thrown, and the program seems to block on this line:

needle.defaults({
    open_timeout: 10000,
});
let response;
try{
    response = await needle('get', requestUrl, await this.getAuthHeaders());
    console.log("await completed");
}catch(err){
    console.error(err);
}

if open_timeout is triggered, Chrome reports that the connection was cancelled, but neither the console.log statement nor the console.error statement are triggered. Am I missing some other method of handling this timeout, or is this a bug?

Start by reproducing the provided async needle request with a response that exceeds the 10-second open_timeout, then trace how the timeout is handled. Done means the request promise settles predictably and either the response or an error is observable, with a regression test covering the timeout case.
