This is expected behavior.  list() is a left-hand language construct and not currently intended to be used this way.

Reclassifying to Feature/Change Request.

Why not using this code?

foreach ($table as $key=>$val) {
  echo $key.":".$val[0].", ".$val[1]."\n";
}

It wouldn't be a FEATURE then, would it?

This has been implemented for PHP 5.5.
