I just came across this myself and figured out the problem.
PHP retrieved the data from my database and even though the entry in
the database was boolean PHP (Because it is a loosely typed language)
returned the entry as a string with the value of "0". When this was
returned, Flex coerced this string value to a boolean. As "0" is a non
empty string, Flex coerced it to true (Which is what it should do for
any non-empty string).
The "Fix" is to coerce the value to an int at the PHP end. For example:
$myObject->booleanField = (int)$row['booleanField'];
Now, when the number 0 comes in, Flex correctly coerces it to false.
