php NumberFormatter->formatCurrency() gives unexpected results when rounding decimals

Test script:
---------------
$fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'en_GB', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY );
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.005", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.015", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.025", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.035", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.045", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.055", "GBP")."\n";


Expected result:
----------------
£0.01
£0.02
£0.03
£0.04
£0.05
£0.06

Actual result:
--------------
£0.00

ICU uses banker's rounding by default. You can control the rounding mode via 
$fmt->setAttribute(NumberFormatter::ROUNDING_MODE, $mode), where $mode is one of 
the NumberFormatter::ROUND_* constants listed on 
http://php.net/manual/en/class.numberformatter.php#numberformatter.constant.round
-ceiling.

I see. But setting Rounding Mode to Half Up still gives me exactly the same 
result (and so do all the other rounding modes):

$fmt = new NumberFormatter('en_GB', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
$fmt->setAttribute(NumberFormatter::ROUNDING_MODE, 
NumberFormatter::ROUND_HALFUP);
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.005", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.015", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.025", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.035", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.045", "GBP")."\n";
echo $fmt->formatCurrency("0.055", "GBP")."\n";
