And I already replied ENOTABUG as promised ;-)
It's clear what the language should be doing in this situation and it isn't
doing it, so it's broken. It's only not a bug in the sense that it's documented
to be broken.

Of course it is. The operands of addition are evaluated from left to right; the
return value of a pre-increment is the value of the operand after it is
incremented; the return value of a post-increment is the value of the operand
before it is incremented; and pre- and post-increments have a higher priority
than additions. $a = 3; ++$a + $a++ _should_:
- increment $a to 4 and return 4
- increment $a to 5 and return 4
- add 4 and 4 and return 8
and it doesn't. It's broken.

Yes. It's documented to be broken.
