you are missing the fact that many consider testing the new major versions
and many of them will only start testing PHP 5.4 in combination with Apache 2.4

why?
because you have ONE big test challenge at once

* httpd
* httpd-extensions
* php
* php-extensions / pecl-extensions
* your applications with both of them

nobody will start consider PHP 5.4 if Apache 2.4 is on the internal
roadmap before both work together because it would mean the whole
work twice

in other words: if both work together ASAP i wil consider both
in 2012, if not both will be delayed to 2013
