My apologies; I meant "5.4.0 or 6.0.0" obviously, and my email address
is at the .com TLD (not .net).
Insufficient morning caffeination, clearly.

I suppose the resource type might be affected as well; it did not occur
to me to test it at the time.
I am not certain that a new notice would constitute a BC break;
production servers should never have display_errors on, and any code
that would actually generate the new notices or warnings would already
be broken by the very fact that it is attempting to read scalar values
as arrays (therefore, subtle but as-yet undiscovered logical bugs in
userland code may be made known by these new notices or warnings).
I suppose custom error handler routines could react strongly to notices,
though. Webpages suddenly disappearing with "Sorry, there has been an
internal error" messages generated by their core frameworks might be a
somewhat unpleasant experience.
If this does qualify as a BC break under the Zend engine maintainers'
policies, would 3.4 or 6.0 be the first candidate for a fix?

I think there is a bug here as an error is raised when writing to ints
and floats as arrays but not when reading from them.
The fix is trivial however it's a BC break. This exists in at least 5.2,
5.3 and HEAD.

Same behavior using the most recent build I just tried:
