In security.html, case 4, it says that it's possible to run PHP script just like Perl
script, by putting #!/path/to/php on the start of the scriptand making script executable. Well,
it's not the case - in cgi_main.c it explicitly checks if it is run as CGI and reqires
PATH_TRANSLATED. Option --enable-discard-path doesn't seem to help, and, in fact, I do not see
from source it does anything at all. So when I do what is stated in the manual, I get
"No input file specified."

It also ignores command-line arguments, given with #! - which is not documented anywhere
and doesn't match command-line behaviour.

Is it possible to make command-line and CGI via #! to behave in the same consistent way?

This seems to be fixed in the latest CVS. Please try it.
