When you call parent::test() everything works as you'd expect it. Have a look at https://3v4l.org/RCrRd Apart from that you are calling an instance-method as a static method by using A::test().
This appears to be the crucial thing: if you declare the test() method as static in both classes, it returns false in all versions: https://3v4l.org/hJoor
It's almost like A::test() is now interpreted as a static call, rather than a "scope resolution" of the instance method, but $this is still available, so it's not quite as simple as that: https://3v4l.org/qbT3j
