Not a bug. It's due to the nature of DES.

The least significant bit of each byte in the key is NOT USED, and the only difference between the characters '0' and '1' is that least significant bit. You can see the same behavior swapping 'B' and 'C', 'P' and 'Q', and 'x' and 'y' (to give some examples). Generically, any even-numbered ASCII character can be swapped with its n+1 neighbor, and vice versa.

Separately: ECB mode does not use IVs so $iv is pointless.

Thanks for the explanation uramihsayibok; I did not know this.
