The following works fine for me:
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->addServer('localhost', 11211);

$memcache->set('x', 'v', MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED);
$memcache->set('x', 'v');

What are you trying to do with the "64" value the set() method?  Is that supposed to be the timeout?
 [2010-10-05 16:12 UTC] konstantin at symbi dot org 
It is a flags value, its meaning is not significant in 
context 
of the bug.

I should be able to set any flags value (if I do not alter 
the 
bits used internally by pecl/memcache). But it was broken in 
the 3.x branch.

The problem is that your patch breaks a lot of code.  That intention of that particular code block is to only allow the flag parameter to be set with a value of 2 (MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED) or 1 (internal serialized value).  If any other bit is set, then it throws that warning.  Allowing any arbitrary value will break existing logic in the code.

I can change the warning to something like: "Invalid flag specified."
