The bug report on the PHP site clearly indicates that the PHP developers believe there is a real problem. However, edgy is now past upstream version freeze. Unless this bug is particularly important (and worth backporting the fix), we will probably simply wait until upstream release php5 5.2.x and include that in the next Ubuntu release, edgy+1.
