wp_die during recovery mode

This may be more of a feature request then a support question, but any alternatives to my issue are welcome.

I’ve had an issue with a site and noticed through the WordPress editor that I’ve accidently saved with a wp_die outside of a conditional statement. Since there were no flags in the admin about using the function (though we do get a fatal PHP error warning), I only noticed when it was too late. Working in a plugin, this is fired on the login screen as well, so I’m being locked out of WordPress completely.

Looking at the code behind wp_die, I’m wondering if we couldn’t add an extra wp_die_handler filter or some kind of validation to prevent a wp_die function when accessing the login with /wp-login.php?action=entered_recovery_mode.

I do not have FTP credentials at this time, so the WordPress editor is my only option, and I can no longer access or fix this, which is a serious problem.
