Raise returns a string?

I'm running this code:
fn test() raises -> StringRef:
raise Error("Test")


fn main() raises:
let res = test()

print(res) # prints "Test"
fn test() raises -> StringRef:
raise Error("Test")


fn main() raises:
let res = test()

print(res) # prints "Test"
It seems like if I raise an error on a function that returns a String then the error value becomes the return value... Is that expected behavior?

You should filed a bug report (https://github.com/modularml/mojo/issues). The behavious seems specific to raising in a fn that returns a StringRef. Other return types raise appropriately and the print statement is never reached.
