Comment (by ohiosierra):

 Am I missing a step? I don't have this issue. The plugin is paused for me,
 presumably in time to prevent the loopback request from failing.

 On a fresh install of 5.2-beta1-20190404.183103:

 1.  Created an empty plugin.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name: Fatal Error plugin
 Version: .1
 Description: This plugin starts blank, but you can fix...errr,
 break...that.
 Text Domain: fatal-error
 */
   }}}

 2. Activated the plugin.
 3. Loaded Plugins->Plugin Editor
 4. Modified the plugin to induce a fatal error

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name: Fatal Error plugin
 Version: .1
 Description: This plugin starts blank, but you can fix...errr,
 break...that.
 Text Domain: fatal-error
 */

 trigger_error("Fatal error", E_USER_ERROR);
   }}}

 5. Hit "Update File"

 Result: The message, "File edited successfully." is shown. On the next
 page load, WordPress pauses the plugin. The error has been saved in the
 file and not rolled back.
