You said 'version irrelevant' - did you check up to date versions and are seeing something different, or did you just assume it affected all versions?

This bug has been fixed with <http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=c562d44>,
but probably should have a NEWS entry, pointing to this ticket.
