Consider this class:
---
package test;

public class Demo {

    public Demo() {
        Unknown.test();
    }

}
---

When compiled with -Xlint:this-escape and should-stop at FLOW, this will crash:
---
$ ./build/linux-x86_64-server-release/images/jdk/bin/javac -Xlint:all -XDshould-stop.at=FLOW -XDdev /tmp/Demo.java
/tmp/Demo.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
        Unknown.test();
        ^
  symbol: variable Unknown
  location: class Demo
