IMO correct or not depends on the context where the function is used. At least, as array_unique() was not capable of dealing with objects before the Andrei's patch, every existing code should use it with strings, not objects. If SORT_REGULAR could handle objects as well as strings in the same manner as SORT_STRING I wouldn't see any problem, although it cannot.
