I can confirm that this error is still present, only in later version of PHP (Im using PHP 5.3)  the error message differs slightly.

SOAP-ERROR: Parsing Schema: can't import schema from 'http://example.com/myfile.xsd'

Where the WSDL trying to be validated contains an import to the XSD

<xs:import namespace="mynamespace" schemaLocation="http://example.com/myfile.xsd"/>

And the XSD file: http://example.com/myfile.xsd contains ref elements:

<xs:element ref="ota:OTA_HotelInvCountNotifRQ"/>

Also confirming this bug still exists for the WSDL 
https://www.smtpi.siteminder.com/pmsxchangev2/services/highlevel/pmsxchange.wsdl 
with a standard connect via new SoapClient();

PHP Version 5.3.13
