Well, it seems it was not, after all.

I can't reproduce this on a lenny amd64 system, so I looked at php
changelog and noticed that this bug is *suspiciously* similar to
Bug#459020 in php, which was fixed in etch in version 5.2.0-8+etch11~p1.

So, reassigning again. I believe the bug may be closed, but I leave
that to the PHP maintainers.

Cc: to recode-bugs as well, where I mistakenly forwarded this.
François: you can forget about this one :-)

Thanks.
