map.load not failing when it probably should

I'm testing offline fallback funtcionality for an app that loads the init.js script locally. I'm trying to catch the error. This works fine if I initialize using a portalItem with a webMapID, but not if I use the following:

var webMapConfig = {
basemap: "streets",
ground: "world-elevation"
};

map = new WebMap( webMapConfig );

map.load()
.otherwise( function( error ) {

// THIS IS NOT REACHED

console.error('map failed to load');

})

.then(function(){

// THIS IS REACHED

console.log('map loaded');

});

The map is completely failing to load (as expected), but for some reason load doesn't reject in 4.0 and 4.1.

Is this a bug or by design?

Cheers,
Martijn
