With... 

...httpd.conf containing the line: "php_value max_execution_time [VALUE > 300]

...phpinfo() showing max_execution_time to be as set above

...the script containing the line: set_time_limit( [VALUE > 300])

...no php.ini file

 the script always breaks off at EXACTLY 5 minutes.

The apparent upper limit of "max_execution_time" that I reported was actually the effect of the "timeout" setting in httpd.conf.

As far as I'm concerned, this is, in fact, not a bug at all.

Setting max execution time makes no difference
There is no "timeout" setting as such in httpd.conf
If you add php_value_max_execution_time in httpd.conf this makes no
difference.
Increasing timeouts such as stream timeouts (i.e. every timeout that exists
in mysql php and httpd config files) makes no difference.
Double checking correct placement of php.ini makes no difference.

In all cases a timeout occurs after 5 minutes.

I would call this a bug.
There should be 1 place and 1 place only for timeouts to occur
that cancel operations. Either way it seems impossible to 
have a mySQL import that does not timeout at 5 minutes no matter how implemented as far as I can establish.
