I'm not convinced this actually is a bug.

STDERR is not necessarily related to the error_log. 

If INI's error_log is not set, then the SAPI module's log_message callback is executed. That's why you see errors in the VHost's error_log for an unconfigured error_log with log_errors=On.

Opening php://stderr just dup's STDERR_FILENO, which in the case of Apache httpd is redirected to the main error_log.
