preg_matches is no longer putting the text that matches the full pattern in the 0th element of the 3rd parameter.

I can't reproduce this. Try:

<?
preg_match("/<(.+?)>/", "<blockquote> this", $match);
var_dump($match);
?>

For me it outputs:
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(12) "<blockquote>"
  [1]=>
  string(10) "blockquote"
}
