In my opinion this should not be happening. If I am editing buffer
with recursive-edit the buffer is to abort on Emacs Lisp evaluation if
there is any error taking place.

I am using this function below.

(defun read-from-buffer (value &optional buffer-name mode)
  "Edits string and returns it"
  (let ((this-buffer (buffer-name))
	(new-value value)
	(buffy (if buffer-name buffer-name "*edit-string*")))
    (save-excursion
      (switch-to-buffer buffy)
      (set-buffer buffy)
      (if mode (funcall mode)
	(text-mode))
      (setq header-line-format "➜ Finish editing with C-c C-c or C-M-c")
      (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'exit-recursive-edit)
      (if (stringp value) (insert value))
      ;; (speak "You may quit the buffer with Control C Control C")
      (message "When you're done editing press C-c C-c or C-M-c to continue.")
      (unwind-protect
	  (recursive-edit)
	(if (get-buffer-window buffy)
	    (progn
	      (setq new-value (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max)))
	      (kill-buffer buffy))))
      (switch-to-buffer this-buffer)
      new-value)))

Then you could edit some string to see how this is happening:

(read-from-buffer "EDIT ME\nEvaluate this: (nonexistingfunction) ")

Then there after you could evaluate some non existing function to invoke
the Emacs Lisp error.

At that time the editing with recursive-buffer is interrupted and data
is lost.

This should not happen, as evaluations are often required during editing.
