Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 danielbachhuber]:
 > At this point, I'd ''much'' prefer we avoid `wp_die()` invocations REST
 requests. I don't think we'll be able to create a robust `wp_die()`
 handler that does what we need it to without compatibility concerns.

 Agreed and I think adding handling here will encourage people to use it.
 The current behaviour (breaking the response) is probably a good thing.

 Recommend close.
