I tried to create an account ("hexmode") on wikitech and got the following:
MediaWiki internal error. Exception caught inside exception handler. Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.
(Yes, I know I already have an account on the wiki. This was an effort to test account creation when the account is in SUL.)

Update: Krenair found it
The user already exists, did you manage to create it in the end or did it failed in the middle of the operation?
I'm able to log in as "hexmode" with the user I created. This makes sense since LDAP != SUL.
This is caused by rMWca2840b5a573: Make hookErrorHandler() only care about serious signature errors, which checks for the string 'expects parameter' in a warning, and assumes it's an issue with the function hook signature, even though it can be an issue in the hook function itself.
I have already an account on wikitech, but every time I try to access the site returns the error in the description of this task.
When reloading the browser page, I am regularly logged in.
The title of this bug makes it look like account creation is failing -- but in reality it only failed when you try to create an account that already exists, correct? That is a much smaller problem!

Revert "Make hookErrorHandler() only care about serious signature errors"
Since hook signature errors are an abnormal condition, it may be OK to call debug_backtrace() to determine where in the stack the exception was thrown.
