I'm not sure whether making people lie is a legal problem, but I feel it's wrong. That's why I call the licence inappropriate or unsuitable for software besides PHP, rather than saying it does not follow the DFSG. Do you think that this licence does not require a developer of a modified package (other than PHP) to lie by saying "This product includes PHP software"? For now, I stand by my view: PHP under this licence follows the DFSG, but it's inappropriate for software other than PHP itself, including much of PEAR. An obvious fix is to limit clause 6 to products derived from PHP, or to make clauses 4 to 6 and the disclaimer not PHP-specific.
