New Comment:
This behavior is consistent with the old one: new $classname is also
available in version prior to 5.3, and works the same way.
self and parent are keywords, not real class names. Hence I reclassify
this report as a feature request.

Description:
------------
'self' and 'parent' don't are evaluated when calling static
member/method with class name in variables.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class foo {
const foo = 1;
public function __construct() {
$classname = 'parent';
echo $classname::FOO;
// Fatal error: Class 'parent' not found
$classname = 'self';
echo $classname::FOO;
// Fatal error: Class 'self' not found
// new $classname; too
}
}
new foo;
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class 'parent' not found
and
Fatal error: Class 'self' not found
