This is why I asked to check the NEWS file:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/NEWS?view=log&pathrev=PHP_5_3

That file should list all intentional changes. If something is changed  
which is not listed there, it either needs to be listed or fixed.

I just talked to Pierre and he said he is in contact with people from  
Firebird to get this resolved.
