On the other hand, if register_globals is broken then extract($_FILES,
EXTR_SKIP); is working as intended, skipping keys already registered. I
can understand it's either a bug or a documentation problem, but
something isn't right here.

Results of extract() shouldn't depend on register_globals.

It's documentation issue. Plus you really should NOT be using
register_globals=On. And using extract() on $_FILES...well..that's very
flaky idea to begin with. Just don't do it. :)

I confirmed this behavior with PHP 5.2.6 running on IIS and Windows
2003 SP2.
Test case output with register_globals Off
array(5) {
["name"]=>
string(14) "samplefile.txt"
["type"]=>
string(10) "text/plain"
["tmp_name"]=>
string(25) "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php57.tmp"
["error"]=>
int(0)
["size"]=>
int(459)
}
string(25) "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php57.tmp"
Test case output with register_globals On
string(25) "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php58.tmp"
string(1) "C"
So I'm convinced that register_globals is involved here. There is
something horribly wrong with this feature or its documentation.

Adding to the confusion, I thought perhaps the unexpected behavior
could be caused by the register_globals configuration. However,
according to documentation ...
http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.misc.php#faq.misc.registerglobals
... extract($_FILES, EXTR_SKIP); is the correct way to emulate
register_globals On. I dumped all of the other superglobals and
confirmed the only one containing a 'themefile' index was $_FILES. Both
var_dump($_POST); and var_dump($_GET); returned "array(0) {}"

Note about the "Reproduce code", for best results use
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
