Description:
------------
When calling DateTime::diff from (DateX) to (DateX - few microseconds), I get inconsistent intervals between versions and none are what I would expect (inverted interval with positive microseconds).

Test script:
---------------
$s = new DateTime('2018-10-11 20:59:06.914653');
$e = new DateTime('2018-10-11 20:59:06.237419');

echo $s->diff($e)->format('%R %Y-%M-%D %H:%I:%S.%F');

Expected result:
----------------
- 00-00-00 00:00:00.677234

Actual result:
--------------
Output for 7.3.0rc4 - 7.3.0rc5

+ -1-11-29 23:59:59.322766

Output for 7.1.0 - 7.3.0rc3

+ 00-00-00 00:00:00.-677234

As tested with https://3v4l.org/hnnL0

Note sure, but I guess 7.2.12 would looks like 7.3.0rc5 as it's probably consecutive to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77007 bugfix

This looks like a duplicate of bug #77097.

Yes it may be the same.

I would add, if we pass $absolute = TRUE, we still get the negative result.
