Are you running PHP in CGI mode? If so then it might be the CGI shebang doing funky stuff after my guessings atleast in 2.php even though it isn't #! as shebangs normally are...

For the CLI example I think (from memories) that you can't break in and out of php with the -r option.

tested with cli and fastcgi web (not cgi), so not a shebang problem.
we're talking about this bug at mailinglist and looks like it's relatived to re2c lexer changes recentl

It is.

http://lxr.php.net/source/ZendEngine2/zend_language_scanner.l#2155

Was added during the conversion to handle the shebang, it may not be quite working as expected though.
