Description
Steps to reproduce
- copy the attached video file into assets
- run the code sample
Tested also with the latest main branch of packages.
Is this really a good idea?

It should also print flutter: initialized or perhaps end with an unhandled exception.
Actual results
It prints just "flutter: constructed".
