I've been holding back from the accessors discussion as I'm hovering around -0 on the whole thing, but this one is really very simple and obvious as far as I'm concerned: no getter, means no value, means not set, means isset() returns FALSE. Also, the description of isset()'s return value (at http://php.net/isset) is "Returns TRUE if var exists and has value other than NULL, FALSE otherwise"; this would also seem to mandate returning FALSE (since a property with no getter effectively would not exist in a "get" context).
