This is a bug, as it's clearly specified in ISO 8601.

Also
php -r '$d = new DateTime("2005-03-15 12:22:29-0000"); $d->add("36000
seconds"); var_dump($d->format(DATE_ISO8601));'
gives to me:
PHP Warning: DateTime::add() expects parameter 1 to be DateInterval,
string given in Command line code on line 1
Warning: DateTime::add() expects parameter 1 to be DateInterval, string
given in Command line code on line 1
So I don't think this is a solution for now.

Ok, that is a solution.
Since I am somewhat new to PHP all this numbers to strings stuff is a
bit disquietingly for me :).

You can also just do:
$dateTime->add("718231 seconds");

I forgot: At least max int would be nice as limit because then
everywhere you get a duration as int you don't have to care about the
limit of the DateInterval constructor.

Just an example when whis is awkward:
I get an offest from a time zone an have to add it to a DateTime. The
offset was taken from the time zone via getOffset(). Lets assume the
offset is positive (easy test if not).
$d->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $offset . 'S')));
will fail once the offset is over 9999 seconds.
While it is not really necessary to have the limit removed, it is just
awkward for a user that he always has to care about this limit when
handling durations he gets from sources he can not control. There will
always be a limit you have to take care of but a limit of 9999 seconds
is reached very fast, if you get durations in seconds.
