The code would not simply "not work" but even potentially leak to the
client (as PHP would not treat it as code) which could leak credentials
or other sensitive information.

I still think that long-term goal should be that language behavior
doesn't depend on ini configuration. 

Also creating a tool which does the conversion is relatively simple.
