The module was broken even before in a different part. The fact that now 
affects you doesn't mean was better before. When this feature was 
introduced there was a flame-storm between php devs because the presence 
of an optional extension shouldn't modify the behaviour of the standard 
library. This is bad coding, but, as I said, I'm working to fix it. And, 
if you are wondering, I didn't deliberately commit such regression.
