Comment:

 Hello @superpoincare with your function are you wrapping it in a
 function_exists? When overriding pluggable functions it's recommended to
 do so to avoid the fatal you're running into.

 > For safety, it is best to always wrap your functions with if (
 !function_exists() ), otherwise you will produce fatal errors on plugin
 activation.

 I hope that helps overcome the issue, marking as close as this is expected
 behaviour but leaving open for now incase I misunderstood.
