What steps will reproduce the bug?

import * as vm from "node:vm";

const context = vm.createContext({}, {
  microtaskMode: "afterEvaluate",
});

const m = new vm.SourceTextModule(
  "",
  {context},
);

await m.link(() => null);
await m.evaluate();

console.log("This is never printed, but the node process terminates.");

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Repeats every time.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

With this module source code (the empty string in this example, but it also happens with non-trivial code in the module), the program behavior should be the same whether the microtaskMode is set to "afterEvaluate" or left unspecified. The console.log() statement should be printed.

What do you see instead?

Node terminates without executing the console.log() statement. Node reports:

Warning: Detected unsettled top-level await at file:///tmp/test2.js:13
await m.evaluate();
^

If you comment out the line setting microtaskMode, the console.log() statement is executed as expected.
