PHP of course just calls GNU textdomain() and you see the result the original function returns, 
not some PHP-specific result.
And no, I cannot reproduce this with PHP 5.3.4-dev or PHP 5.2.15-dev.
You might want to update your PHP and try again.

If you're still able to reproduce it - make sure the problem doesn't appear 
to be in some distro-specific patch, i.e. get the original source tarball 
from php.net and check if the problem actually exists there.
After that you're welcome to fill a bug-report.
