This isn't an extension split out of php, it "is a drop-in alternative to PHP standard json extension." So if there is actually a bug, it's in the php package itself not this one. The problem is that the json extension included in php is considered "non-free" software due to a silly clause in its license, so it has been removed in Debian/Ubuntu. You can read the details in this Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692613
