Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

From the manual page for strip_tags(): 

"Warning

Because strip_tags() does not actually validate the HTML, partial, or broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than expected."
