Uhm, I did get an email question that amounted to are you kidding me?
I answered i was.
As far as I know it still happens.
The one thing I might add is that it is possible it had a Return character in
the disable_functions line. I have found that bug separately, that php.ini
parsing errors are not reported even in the php error log.
I'd argue that should not be a parsing error, as it is kind of silly to require
a possibly very long list to be all on one line.
If so, php failed silently, and my other settings,
such as open_basedir were set.
That is, it did not completely fail to apply the .ini changes.
My guess would be that one of the disabled functions was necessary to change
the
path, but used by the PHP interpreter system directly, as opposed to used
during
interpretative php source code.
I'd further assume that in applying settings from php.ini , the
disable_functions directive is actually processed before the include_path
directive.
Clearly, no function that can be listed in disable_functions should be used by
the interpreter, except as a direct call from PHP source.
There must be a layer for the php function calls which call a lower layer
system call. Otherwise, disabling functions can cause the system to fail in
unexpected ways, like this.
My guess would be that setting the include path calls one of the directory
related functions, such as chdir.
I see that the path names are duplicated, I expect that is because
my editor turned them into links which were stripped out when i pasted into the
bug system. Otherwise, the example below should be reproducible in a couple
minutes.

Near the top of your phpinfo() output it says:
Loaded Configuration File: /path/to/your/php.ini
Does that show the right path?

Description:
------------
include_path was not being set as shown by phpinfo.php
from php.ini
Its stuck at
include_path .:/usr/lib/php .:/usr/lib/php
<skipping diagnostic saga>
If you ALSO change (per below), you lose the ability to alter include_path
disable_functions =
to
disable_functions = (unlink, rmdir, fopen, dio_open, scandir, dir,
opendir,chdir, chroot, getcwd,
finfo_open, copy, delete, dirname, file_exists, file_get_contents,
file_put_contents, file,
ftruncate, fwrite, lchgrp, lchown, is_dir, link, mkdir,
move_uploaded_file,
pathinfo, popen,
readfile, readlink, realpath, rename, symlink, tempnam, tmpfile, touch,
umask,
xdiff_file_bdiff, xdiff_file_diff, xdif_file_merge3, xdiff_file_patch)
Test script:
---------------
// in php.ini set
include_path = /xyz/abc
//AND
disable_functions = (unlink, rmdir, fopen, dio_open, scandir, dir,
opendir,chdir, chroot, getcwd,
finfo_open, copy, delete, dirname, file_exists, file_get_contents,
file_put_contents, file,
ftruncate, fwrite, lchgrp, lchown, is_dir, link, mkdir,
move_uploaded_file, pathinfo, popen,
readfile, readlink, realpath, rename, symlink, tempnam, tmpfile, touch,
umask,
xdiff_file_bdiff, xdiff_file_diff, xdif_file_merge3, xdiff_file_patch)
Expected result:
----------------
run phpinfo.php
it should show
include_path /xyz/abc /xyz/abc
Actual result:
--------------
phpinfo.php
Is stuck at
include_path .:/usr/lib/php .:/usr/lib/php
