You should count yourself lucky! At least your conversion is in the ballpark.

On my 32bit windows ...

php -r "var_dump((int)((float)4043529379404059246));" 381D808C0A3C126E
int(171708928) A3C1200

The hex values shows something interesting.

4043529379404059246 = 0x381D808C0A3C126E
171708928           = 0x000000000A3C1200
4043529379404059136 = 0x381D808C0A3C1200

So, the 32bit truncation is sort of expected, but the chopping of the lower 8 
bits isn't.

On my 32bit debian system:

php -r "var_dump((int)((float)4043529379404059246));"
int(171708928)

I think it because of difference between int size on 32bit systems and 64bit 
systems
PHP_INT_MAX int 32bit systems = 2147483647
PHP_INT_MAX int 64bit systems = 9223372036854775807

4043529379404059246 is well past the point where a double precision
float can represent an integer exactly (2^53, from memory): ergo, some
data loss is inevitable at that point.
