I can confirm - see https://3v4l.org/LE4P6. Happens on all of the supported versions (on linux as well)

The fix could be as simple as

-	ZVAL_STRING(retval, (char *) (dtdptr->name));
+	ZVAL_STRING(retval, dtdptr->name ? (char *) (dtdptr->name) : "");

 }

The question is which property value should be reported, and
whether there should be an additional notice/warning.

A warning is already issued by loadHTML() reporting the malformed declaration.

Just returning the empty string should be fine.
