Description:
------------
When a message formatter formats choices with nested variables, its behaviour is buggy.

Interestingly, the code below works if you insert the parameter "{1}" once more outside of the choice:

'There are {0,choice,0#are no {1} files|1#is one {1} file} ok {1}'

produces

There are are no text files ok text
There are is one image file ok image

Reproduce code:
---------------
$fmt = MessageFormatter::create('en_GB', 'There are {0,choice,0#are no {1} files|1#is one {1} file} ok');

echo $fmt->format(array(0, "text")), "\n";
echo $fmt->format(array(1, "image")), "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
There are are no text files ok
There are is one image file ok

Actual result:
--------------
There are are no {1} files ok
There are is one {1} file ok

The build of your snapshot doesn't work for me. Did I do anything wrong?

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Unfortunately, ChoiceFormat it ICU doesn't seem to support formats inside choice alternatives, see: http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classChoiceFormat.html

Split the pattern like this:
$fmt = MessageFormatter::create('en_GB', 'There are {0,choice,0#are no|1#is one} {1} {0,choice,0#files|1#file} ok');

to make it work.
