ServerErrorException is not part of this repository - did you extend HttpException in your code? but you are correct, this seems unexpected. HttpException could have been made final, but we did not, and it seems okay to extend it.

can you create a pull request to change the exception to use new static instead of new self? and until we release a fixed version, you can overwrite the create method in your extending class, as a workaround - but we should fix it in the HttpException, it is quite unexpected behaviour.
