Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.0-win32-latest.zip

Can't reproduce.

Also, please use var_dump(ini_get("register_globals")); instead of echo.

I used php5.0-win32-latest.zip to reinstall PHP5

I used the follow code

<?php
/*
Our php.ini contains the following settings:

register_globals = On
engine = On
display_errors = On
y2k_compliance = On

*/

var_dump(ini_get('register_globals'));
var_dump(ini_get('engine'));
var_dump(ini_get('display_errors'));
var_dump(ini_get('y2k_compliance'));

?>

result:
string(0) "" string(0) "" string(1) "1" string(1) "1" 

The return values for
display_errors and y2k_compliance
are correct

Try this:
php.exe -n -d register_globals=1 -r 'var_dump(ini_get("register_globals"));'
or 
php -n -d register_globals=1 -r <path to your script>

register_globals has been defined twice in the php.ini
I have entered an extra register_globals statement by mistake.
I have removed it from the php.ini. I got the expected result now.

Thanks.
