Expected Behavior

Shortcut should be parsed/read correctly, and we should be able to handle the error if this fails.

Additional Information

This seems related to #44752, but it affects other shortcuts.

Here is a partial backtrace:

I've reproduced the above on v33.3.1, as well as the latest beta.
