It's worth noting that PHP (as of 5.3) does not distribute a php.ini file that contains default values (like php.ini-dist essentially did). So I imagine issues arise when distributions want to enable one during the PHP install. Curious, do you enable one of the php.ini-* files by default? Which? Perhaps with a few other changed values to meet the defaults, like with short_open_tag?
