Basically, Locale::setDefault($string) behaves the same as
ini_set('intl.default_locale', $string)[1].

It is arguable whether this is a bug, but at least the
documentation regarding the return value should be improved.

`Locale::setDefault` has always true return: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=ext/intl/locale/locale_methods.c;hb=HEAD#l248

Might be interesting drop this and make it void in the next PHP version, as it's considered a BC.

Makes no sense to leave this ticket open, so I'm changing to doc
problem.
