Description:
------------
For some reason beyond my knowledge, the strip_tags function is selectively stripping allowed_tags. I have tested it against three relatively similar strings (all <embed> tags) and it passing on only one out of the three. The string and xhtml tags themselves are perfectly valid, and I have no clue why strip_tags is behaving in such a way.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo strip_tags('<embed allowScriptAccess="never"   src="http://www.picturetrail.com/photoFlick/l_bookhorizontal.swf" name="photoFlick" FlashVars="img1=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756363.jpg&img2=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756370.jpg&img3=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756373.jpg&img4=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756375.jpg&img5=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756377.jpg&img6=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756379.jpg&img7=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756381.jpg&img8=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756384.jpg&img9=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756386.jpg&img10=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756388.jpg&img11=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756391.jpg&img12=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756394.jpg&img13=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756395.jpg&img14=http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1204/4617287/9809076/139756397.jpg" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="..ffffff" width="600" height="410" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>','<embed>');
