Works for me in 5.3.0

<?php
$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1);
var_dump($n);
$n = (int) ($n - 1);
var_dump($n);
?>

Produces
int(-2147483648)
int(2147483647)

Exactly what version produces correct result (in your opinion) and
_exactly_ what version does not?

Description:
------------
Old version are correct.
Eg 4.2.2 is exhibiting correct integer behavior.
Wrapping issue. All tests on 40 other languages pass according to this
simple test:

Ver 4.2.2

$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1)
 -> -2147483648 (+wrap, correct)
$n = (int) ($n - 1)
 -> 2147483647 (-wrap, correct)

(C/C++/C#/.../assembly inc,dec/perl(int mode)/python/so on follow
this logic)

Ver 5.2.4

$n = 2147483647;
$n = (int) ($n + 1)
 -> -2147483648 (+wrap, correct)
$n = (int) ($n - 1)
 -> -2147483648 (-max, wrong)

(no other language follow this. Some languages do use +/-max but not
this mix of wrap one way and max the other)

Suggest: back to original +/- wrapping.

Your newer versions are wrong.
You wrap going positive around the integer wheel.
You don't wrap going negative around the integer wheel.
One direction you wrap, the other direction you do a max.

I test all languages and this is incorrect integer behavior.
Your original logic was correct but now broken and affects all
original source code.

Related issue by someone else: 
#30315. Got closed but core issue misunderstood.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Sorry, didn't see these boxes. See above.

Your version is irrelavent here as I am talking about a change from old
to new versionS. New ones don't work. (I could not select irrelavent so
just chose one on list - but that's not the point).
