Despite the fact that Apache HTTPD's website says that 2.4.1 "represents the best available version of Apache HTTP Server", and that PHP 5.4.0 will probably also bear similar notation (guesswork here!), very few (if any!) production environments are going to even bother considering running first minor version of any major release.
For both, they will probably wait for 2.4.2(-5) and 5.4.1(-4) because with every major release there is a high suspicion about new bugs that may have been introduced during the development process (besides the documented backwards compatibility breaks). Given all above, no serious user of Apache+PHP will mind if PHP team introduces necesary code changes into PHP between versions 5.4.0 and 5.4.1, in order to support Apache Httpd 2.4.x in 5.4.x releases later on. Again, why? Because they will skip 5.4.0 in production. And 2.4.1 too. My 2 cents, b.
