Well, connection issues using mysqlnd seems to be pretty commonly 
reported, like this:

http://bugs.php.net/45468

There are 20 open reports currently:

http://bugs.php.net/search.php?cmd=display&bug_type[]=MySQL+related&bug_type[]=MySQLi+related&status=Open&order_by=id&phpver=5&limit=50

I don't know if these are on some list in some blog, I only check the 
php bug system for open issues.
