      I think that this error on PHP level should not happen, as it causes HTTP code 500 and complicates troubleshooting for users .

      Instead some nice message should be displayed.

      Missing Guest was not an issue in 4.4, issue appeared right after upgrade. That's one more reason why it's better to avoid such PHP error as it pushes zabbix users to think about upgrade procedure issue, while it's not really related to upgrade itself.
