Since bug 36994 was closed..

Both
 $string = "test?"
in a utf-8 text file, and 
 $string = "test?"
in an iso-8859-1 file (converted using iconv) return "UTF-8" with mb_detect_encoding, even when strict is on.

Rui, does this exist also in PHP 5.x branches/HEAD?
If so and this is real bug, update the version. :)

Could you show me mbstring part of php.ini ?
And please show me the simple script to verify your ploblem.
I executed this tiny script, and if forks fine. 
(with Fedora Linux 5, PHP 5.1.5)
<?php
$string = "test?";
echo mb_detect_encoding($string,array('ISO-8859-1','UTF-8'));
// returns ISO-8859-1
?>

I read that 

mb_detect_encoding($string,array('ISO-8859-1','UTF-8'));

always return ISO-8859-1.

Try this;
<?php
$string1 = "test?";
echo mb_detect_encoding($string1,'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1');
// returns UTF-8
echo " ";
$string2 = "test?e";
echo mb_detect_encoding($string2,'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1');
// returns ISO-8859-1
?>
(php 4.4.0)

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at 
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If strict mode detection is used in PHP 5.2.3,
both results are ISO-8859-1.

<?php
$string1 = "test?";
echo mb_detect_encoding($string1,'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1', true);
// returns UTF-8
echo " ";
$string2 = "test?e";
echo mb_detect_encoding($string2,'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1', true);
// returns ISO-8859-1
?>
