Are you, by any chance, running the web server/PHP on a Solaris
platform?  I'm noticing the same behaviour, but only on Solaris:
Linux-based installs do the right thing.  I just submitted a bug
report yesterday (#619).  Seems odd that it would be OS-based, but
unless I've missed something blindingly obvious...
