This code won't help much for this:

 From line 45 of swig 1.3.27's Lib/exception.i:

#ifdef SWIGPHP4
%{
/* We should make use of "code" if we can */
#define SWIG_exception(code, msg) { zend_error(E_ERROR, msg); }
%}
#endif

So if Xapian::RuntimeError should not be fatal in php (which I think it 
shouldn't), it probably needs to be adjusted to do something like 
zend_error(E_WARNING, someMessage); instead of Swig's own exception 
handler (or the swig-handler should be reworked to have RuntimeErrors 
not be fatal).
