<?php
$c = $c + 5; // Notice
$a += 5; // Notice
$b = new stdClass;
$b->a; // Notice
$b->c = $b->c + 5; // Notice
$b->a += 5;
?>
It really is not a rocket science. This behavior is inconsistent and
errors-hiding. The explanation through operator precedence doesn't work
as $b->a alone issues the notice too.
If you don't want to fix it then leave it to others.

Operator precedence. $b->a happens before += and thus the property does
exist before assignment. Not really rocket science. Now go document it.

If this incostitent and possibly-errors-hiding behavior should be
documented as a feature it should be explained why PHP behaves this
way.
Please write down the reasons why this is the correct behavior. I
provided two reasons why this is more bug than a feature.

Because it is.

Why this form of usage of undefined property should be considered as
feature?

This is actually a feature. Can't seem to find where it's documented
though so reclassifying.
