I was unable to reproduce this. Note that the documentation states that the 
input string must be valid UTF-8. I suspect you are feeding it non-UTF-8.

Try copying and pasting your example script from this web page (which is UTF-8). 
When I did that, my output was:

'ej'
'éj'
'eja'
'éjà'

You are right, I messed up UTF-8.
What I was experimenting is http://bugs.php.net/55562 under PHP5.3.6-ubuntu
Before reporting I tested under 5.3.9, but forgot to properly encode in UTF-8...
