TLDR;
When we tie scalar to 'MyObj' class the MyObj​::TIESCALAR is called
but OP_ENTERSUB is not executed before that.
But still we can see OP_LEAVESUB for it

How to reproduce​:
$cat script.pl
package Obj;
sub DESTROY {
  print "DESTROY\n";
}

sub new{ bless {} };
package MyTie;

our $test;

sub TIESCALAR {
  bless {}, 'MyTie​::Scalar';
}

package MyTie​::Scalar;

package main;

sub MyTie​::Scalar​::FETCH {
  local $MyTie​::test = Obj->new;
  print "FETCHed\n";
  return 7;
}

my $x;
tie $x, 'MyTie';
{
  local $MyTie​::test = 3;
  print $x;

  print "TEST​: $MyTie​::test\n";
}

$cat script.xs

  save_item( id );
  sv_inc_nomg( id );
  int idv = SvIV( id );

  printf( "Run OP start(%d)\n", idv );

  SV *tv = newSVpvs( "MyTie​::Scalar" );

  OP *o; CV *cv; SV *pkg;
  while( PL_op ) {
  o = PL_op;

  SV* intv = get_sv("DB​::intv", 0);
  printf( "OP Type​: %d -- %s intv​:%d\n", o->op_type, OP_DESC( o ), SvTRUE( intv ) );

  switch( o->op_type ) {
  case OP_ENTERSUB​:;
  PL_op = o = CALL_FPTR(o->op_ppaddr)(aTHX);

  cv = find_runcv(0);
  pkg = newSVpv( HvNAME( GvSTASH(CvGV(cv)) ), 0 );
  printf( "ENTER​: %s​::%s\n", SvPV_nolen( pkg ), GvNAME( CvGV(cv) ) );

  // sv_dump( cv );
  break;
  case OP_LEAVESUB​:;

  cv = find_runcv(0);
  pkg = newSVpv( HvNAME( GvSTASH(CvGV(cv)) ), 0 );
  printf( "LEAVE​: %s​::%s\n", SvPV_nolen( pkg ), GvNAME( CvGV(cv) ) );

pp_entersub() is still called, but it is called directly, rather than from
a runops loop. Is this a problem for you?

From @KES777

yes, it is. Because when I count depth level it occasionally became negative.
So it is better to see both corresponding events.

Also I have noticed that for the DESTROY method pp_entersub is not called from a runops loop too.

Not a bug. There is no entersub op because the sub call is not being
made from Perl code. There are many places in which subs get called by
means other than explicit calls from Perl code. Any XS code can make
a sub call, and we even have a whole documentation file advising XS
programmers how to do that. It is not remotely viable to rely on sub
calls being made only through Perl ops.

But still we can see OP_LEAVESUB for it

The leavesub op isn't part of the call site, it's part of the called sub.
Of course it only exists for a called Perl sub. You'll see the opposite
pattern when calling an XS sub explicitly from Perl code​: an entersub
op at the call site, then no leavesub or any other op until control has
returned to the call site and moved on to the next thing.

I agree that this ticket should be rejected.
