Test script:
---------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php#113026
<?php
$a=array(22,44);
$b=array(44,22);
var_dump($a==$b);//bool(false)
echo "<br />";
var_dump($a===$b);//bool(false)
echo "<br />";
$a=array("ab","ba");
$b=array("ba","ab");
var_dump($a==$b);//bool(false)
echo "<br />";
var_dump($a===$b);//bool(false)
?>

$b=array(44,22);
var_dump($a==$b);//bool(true)
echo "<br />";
var_dump($a===$b);//bool(false)
echo "<br />";
$a=array("ab","ba");
$b=array("ba","ab");
var_dump($a==$b);//bool(true)
echo "<br />";
var_dump($a===$b);//bool(false)
?>

Actual result:
--------------
<?php
$a=array(22,44);
$b=array(44,22);
var_dump($a==$b);//bool(false)
echo "<br />";
var_dump($a===$b);//bool(false)

$a == $b	Equality	TRUE if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs.
$a === $b	Identity	TRUE if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs
                                in the same order and of the same types.

this is not a bug.

$a=array(22,44);
$b=array(44,22);

have the same meaning as

$a=array(0=>22,1=>44);
$b=array(0=>44,1=>22);

they don't have the same key/value pairs.
