Yes, I figured the count started from zero, but really it
shouldn't. The 1st of the 1st of any year should be day #
1, not day # 0.
The manuals state that 'yday' in getdate() and 'z' in
date() give "The day of the year". This is not correct if
both are out by one day, and no indication that that is the
case, and no indication that you must add one day to make
them correct.
The proper fix would be to fix the code, but a slacker fix
would be to state in the manuals that you must add a day,
ie., date("z") + 1, to get the correct "day of the year"
number.
Up to you, of course, which you choose to do.
Cheers,

Maybe this clears it for you:
# php -r 'echo date("z", mktime(1,1,1,1,1,2003));'
0
The count starts from 0..

And, IMHO, the example you gave,
echo date("z");
thus also seems to give incorrect results.

Month / days (2003)
Jan: 31
Feb: 28
Mar: 31
Apr: 30
May: 31
Jun: 30
Jul: 31
Aug: 31
Sep: 30
TOTAL: 273 days
Currently 8th of Oct, 2003, thus
PLUS 8 days (273 + 8). So today is day: 281
Thus, in my humble opinion, mcal_day_of_year() seem
correct, getdate() seems not to be. But, if getdate() is
correct, then that makes all the calendars and organizers,
paper and computer, incorrect when they state Oct 8, 2003,
as being day '281' and not '280'.
I did "RTFM" as you had suggested. "0-366" just indicates
the number range, correct?

And RTFM: yday == 0-366 days
