Yes, it is a violation. When the script starts, the object is
serialized in the $_SESSION. But it does not exist in the script.
Creating it requires a constructor call. OO principles require exactly
one constructor call and one destructor call for every object created.
Note these may be explicit or implicit, and the functions may be noops,
but the calls must still be made. That is not the case here; you get
one constructor call and two destructor calls.

I know of no other OO language which would allow this.
