Why does VS Code break on handled exception from Reject in Promise?

Take this code, we have a promise that calls a function that will fail, and it should pass the error onward to the catch method of the promise.
It works just fine when ran from the terminal. However when ran through vscode it explodes at (1).

function failingFunc() {
    let undef = undefined;
    return undef.nope();
}
let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
   resolve(failingFunc()); // (1) Explodes when run from vscode
});
promise.then(v => {}).catch((e: Error) => {
    console.log(e.message); // (2) Prints when run from the terminal
});

Why is this?
