print "$t\n";
ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout',100);
$t = -microtime(true);

Does the host 1.2.3.4 exist? If not, you're probably running into the default DNS lookup timeout of your system -> bogus, not a bug. Try changing your system settings, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/96406.mspx?mfr=true

No of course the host "1.2.3.4" doesn't exist, it's an IP address in the unused 1.0.0.0/8 block reserved by ARIN, that's the point. 

If I instead use a hostname for a host which responds to DNS rapidly, but drops ignores SYN packets on the port in question (such as www.google.com), the result is the same. 

Are you asking me this question because you've tried it and can't reproduce it? If so, maybe I can help to isolate the configuration.

As I see it the upper wait time is set to 100s. Your Windows gives a DNS timeout after 20s. PHP bails at you after 20s. 20s < 100s, all fine.

I don't know what you're talking about. The bug is not DNS-related.

Hi,
\I suspect a problem in libmysql, not PHP.
The ext/mysql sources do set the connect_timeout

if (connect_timeout != -1) {
  mysql_options(&mysql->conn, MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, (const char *)&connect_timeout);
}

Are you sure you don't have several libmysql.dll on your system?

Windows, libmysql, connect timeout -> libmysql/MySQL bug not a PHP issue -> http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36225
